Ingredients
  

2 English muffins, split in half

1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained and flaked

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup diced celery

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked tuna, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Fold in the chopped red onion and diced celery. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Toast the Muffins: Preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the English muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side facing up. Toast under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden.

      Assemble the Melts: Spoon an equal amount of the tuna and avocado mixture onto each toasted muffin half. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of each.

        Broil to Perfection: Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, making sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

          Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mini Tuna Avocado English Muffin Melts!
