Amy's High Protein Tuna Melt Recipe Video

I am in love with the La Tortilla Low Carb, Low-Fat Tortillas. I have now gotten my husband hooked on them too ;) He is a sandwich type of guy, but instead of just one sandwich, he usually want two. At 50-80 calories per slice of bread, he's looking at 320 calories in bread alone! Now that he has tried my new tuna melt, he is able to save the calories and eat them elsewhere.
