Let’s get spicy!

I use shredded pepper jack cheese and sliced jalapenos for lots of added flavor in this recipe (it works out perfectly with the sharp cheddar and tuna). If you don’t want spicy, just nix the jalapenos and spicy cheese, and use all cheddar or a cheese of your choice.

Spicy cheese and tuna are melted together in a muffin tin for a delicious keto meal idea.
