Tips
- Choose Quality Tuna: Opt for high-quality canned tuna for the best flavor. Albacore or chunk light tuna are great options.
- Customize Your Spread: Feel free to experiment with different mayonnaise flavors or add a dash of lemon juice for a zesty kick.
- Crisp Your Bacon Just Right: Cook the bacon until it's nice and crispy for the perfect texture contrast in your sandwich.
- Toast Your Bread: Don’t skip the toasting step! It adds a delightful crunch and prevents the bread from getting soggy.
- Layer Strategically: For a balanced bite, layer the ingredients thoughtfully—start with the tuna, then add lettuce, tomato, bacon, and avocado.
- Serve Fresh: This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately after assembling, so gather your ingredients and get ready to dig in!
