Our version of the Monte Cristo replaces ham with tuna salad, jicama and red peppers to make a Tuna Cristo. It still gets dipped in the egg mixture and grilled on the flattop for a most delicious sandwich.
Makes 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna
- 2 tablespoons red pepper, diced fine
- 2 tablespoons jicama, diced fine
