While this tuna sandwich isn’t low carb as written in this simple recipe form, you can use a low carb bread and accomplish that! The melty cheese and the tuna make for an easy dinner or a quick lunch that you can alter the rest of the options pretty easily.
What’s an easy way to reheat tuna melt sandwiches?
A great way to reheat leftovers is to put them in the microwave for a short amount if time. This is a simple cooking process to reheat and enjoy. It won’t be as crispy as putting it back into the air fryer, but it’s a great option if you need to warm the sandwich back up.
