A creamy, spicy tuna melt sandwich made in minutes! Packed with light mayo, sriracha, and melty cheese — the ultimate quick comfort lunch you’ll crave again and again.
If you’re craving a warm, gooey sandwich that’s both satisfying and ridiculously easy to make, this Spicy Tuna Melt Sandwich is your new go-to 🔥. With a creamy tuna mix, a hit of sriracha, and melty Colby cheese pressed between golden slices of bread — it’s everything you want in a quick comfort lunch.
Start by mixing your tuna with finely chopped red onion, spring onion, and sweetcorn for a burst of color and crunch 🌽. Stir in light mayo and sriracha — creamy, spicy, and addictively good.
Spread that glorious tuna mix over soft sandwich bread, add a layer of Colby cheese, and seal it with another slice. Toast it in a pan or sandwich press until it turns perfectly golden and the cheese oozes out 😍.
Cut diagonally (because it always tastes better that way) and serve hot.
✨ Add a slice of tomato or avocado for a fresh twist.
✨ Swap bread for brioche or sourdough for extra indulgence.
✨ Go light or heavy on sriracha depending on your heat tolerance 🌶️.
Pair it with a crisp salad or hot bowl of tomato soup 🍅 for a café-style lunch at home.

Can I use another cheese instead of Colby?
Absolutely! Cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack all melt beautifully. 🧀
How can I make it less spicy?
Reduce or skip the sriracha and add more mayo for a milder, creamy tuna melt.
Can I make it in an air fryer?
Yes! Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5–6 minutes until golden and crisp.
A quick, cheesy, and spicy lunch that never fails — this Spicy Tuna Melt Sandwich is proof that simple can be sensational. 😋🔥
