Hot and Spicy Tuna Melt

Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE spicy food. I found this tuna melt recipe and altered it slightly so that every part has some spice in it. Of course, if you're not a lover of spicy food you can swap out the ingredients for something more mild. Either way this is a really fun way to have a tuna melt. It makes a perfect lunch.

Ingredients:

• 1 pita bread
• 1 can tuna
• 1/3 cup chopped celery
• 1/8 cup chopped banana peppers (Swapping these out for pickles would be find if you are not a fan of spicy peppers.)
• 2 tablespoons light mayo
• 1/2 cup habanero cheese (I used cabot habanero cheddar cheese. Now, this stuff is potent even for a spicy lover. I'm warning you! You can always swap for regular cheddar cheese if the habanero scares you). 
• Siracha hot chili sauce (You can find it in the asian section of your grocery store.)

Recipe:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl combine drained tuna, celery, banana peppers, and mayo
• Take your pita and poke small holes throughout the pita with a fork. This will prevent the pita from bubbling up.
• Spread the tuna on one side of the pita leaving a small border around the edge.
• Sprinkle cheese over the tuna.
• Place pita on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and cut pita into quarters.
• Drizzle Siracha sauce on top and serve.

Spicy Jalapeno Margarita

I have over 10,000 views!!!! In fact, I have 10,277 to be exact! I know that a lot of bloggers might think that its nothing, but I'm really proud that people are liking my blog and reading it! I remember the day I started my blog and being excited that 5 people had looked at it never mind 10,000. Thank you to all my subscribers and readers. To celebrate, I decided to post another margarita recipe. We all know that you can't have a true celebration without some margaritas!

This margarita has a little kick to it! It's made with jalapeno vodka!! I originally had this spicy margarita when we were in Las Vegas at Senor Frogs. You can see my Las Vegas post here. I loved it so much that I was planning on making my own jalapeno vodka by infusing it. Well, I didn't even have to! I was in the liquor store with my friend Sarah, and she pointed Stoli jalapeno vodka out to me. She knows I love my spicy stuff! I was SO excited that she found it! Its hard to describe, but it tastes a little peppery and spicy. Its delicious with margarita mix, orange juice, or tomato juice. I would even drink it on the rocks with seltzer and lime.

This recipe is really simple because I cheated slightly and used a margarita mix already premixed with tequila. I used Jose Cuervo Light Margarita mix. I tend to like the light mixers better because they are less sugary.

Ingredients:

• Jose Cuervo Light Margarita Mix
• Stoli Jalapeno Vodka
• Salt and Lime for garnish

Recipe:

• Rim a glass with salt, and fill with ice.
• Pour in two shots of vodka.
• Fill the rest of the glass with margarita mix.
