Flatbread Tuna Melt with Bacon and Avocado

In high school, I used to bring tuna salad and crackers for lunch almost every day. It was kind of my thing. I love a good tuna salad sandwich but somehow I went almost 20 years before I had a tuna melt. I know what you’re thinking, how is that possible? I have no idea but ever since that first taste I knew it was meant to be. I and tuna melt BFF.

Well since that first melt, over 10 years ago, I have been trying to create the ULTIMATE TUNA MELT, and well folks, I think I’ve done it.

Tuna Salad
Bacon
Tomato
Cheddar Cheese
Avocado
all toasted in a soft Flatout Foldit

It’s like a little piece of heaven has entered the earth, fallen on my plate, traveled down my esophagus, and filled my belly with all of its goodness. Or something like that.

Basically, I took my favorite grilled cheese sandwich recipe and added tuna salad and BAM! Awesomeness.
