One will always find a tin or two of tuna in our pantry, but since we’ve overdosed ourselves on tuna lately I’ve been hiding them in the very back of the lowest shelf! Well, the other day, the husband had this idea of making a tuna sandwich and my immediate response was “No, Not tuna again!” I thought that was the end of it. Lo and behold the very next day, Arkadi volunteered to make us lunch and guess what he made? A tuna sandwich! But this was no ordinary tuna sandwich. He gave me a piece to try and to my surprise, it was really good! So good in fact, I forgot that I have banned tuna in our house! And to make it even better, Arkadi had this brilliant idea of grilling the sandwich! Take it from me, the former tuna hater, this grilled tuna avocado melt will make your lunch so exciting, you’d actually want to stop working or doing whatever else you’re doing and savour each and every bite of this sandwich! So here’s this simple recipe for you to try:
- 1 tin of tuna
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 stalk of green onion
- ¾ of a cup of grated cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
- 2 slices of sandwich bread
- In a bowl, add the tuna, mayo, olive oil, chopped green onion and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Spread the tuna mixture onto one slice of bread.
- Top with sliced avocado and grated cheese.
- Top with another slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted.
Thanks so much! We added tomatoes and what a lovely lunch with a bottle of white wine!
Hey guys! I came across this on Pinterest searching for how to combine tuna and avocado. It was easy and delicious! After forcing my fussy 2 yr old to try it, he finished it and I had to make another one! ?
That’s so great to hear! Your two year old food enthusiast has great taste 🙂
This was delicious, thanks for sharing!

This looks delicious! Grilled sandwiches are so much better than ones on mushy bread!
So true about grilling a sandwich. Thanks a lot!
Why do things always taste better when someone else makes them? This sandwich would be wonderful with a bowl of soup, yum!

Love the idea of this sandwich. Especially the avocado. Hubby is traveling this week, so that usually means lots of small dinners for me. This may be perfect.
Great! Hope you enjoy it!
This looks just great! Simple and healthy and … yummmmm!!! Doesn’t avocado just make everything better – even “banned-from-the-house” tuna?!? 😀
Haha! SO true about avocados! Thank you!

Tuna melts make me feel nostalgic for some reason – I guess I ate a few of them as a child! I love the idea of adding avocado!
Many thanks!
I’ve never thought of adding green onion and avocado to tuna melts before… such a smart creative idea! Can’t wait to start doing that!
Cool! Thank you!
This looks great! I haven’t had a tuna melt in a while and it sounds awesome with the avocado 🙂
Glad to hear you like it! Have a good weekend!
It sounds delicious. I’ve never added avocado to tuna but I’m going to try. I usually add some comedy corn 🙂
Give it a try! I am sure you’ll like it! 🙂
Me too. I always have a can of tuna in the pantry, It’s one of my favorite sandwiches ever. Thank you so much for another version, especially since I’m an avocado freak-0 Thanks for sharing.

Haven’t had tuna melts in a while ourselves! We were introduced to tuna melts when we came to Canada and remembered loving it the first time we had it!
I agree, I think avocados are the absolute best! Perfect addition to a tuna sandwich. I love to make open face ones fro lunch sometimes 🙂
You are right about avocado and open face sandwiches are great too! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
What a delicious looking grilled sandwich! Yum! Love the addition of avocado – it makes the sandwich so flavorful, creamy and filling!
So true! The avocado really added that something something! Thanks for your kind words 🙂
