Ingredients
- 1 light tuna
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 4 round rice paper wrappers
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
- 1 tbsp pickled jalapeño slices
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Preheat a sandwich press and generously coat both cooking plates with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna, light mayonnaise, and sriracha; mix until evenly blended.
- 3Trim the rounded edges from the rice paper wrappers to create square pieces that will fit inside the sandwich press.
- 4Briefly dip two rice paper squares in water, one at a time, just until pliable, then place them directly on the bottom plate of the sandwich press.
- 5Spoon the tuna mixture onto the center of the rice paper, leaving a border around the edges, and top with shredded cheese and pickled jalapeño slices.
- 6Briefly dip the remaining two rice paper squares in water, stack them over the filling, and gently press the edges of the top and bottom wrappers together to seal; sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- 7Close the sandwich press and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the rice paper is deeply golden, crisp, and releases easily from the plates.
- 8Transfer the tuna melt to a plate, let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then slice and serve.
