Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Tuna works really well with Pinot Noir, Merlot, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 259 dollars per bottle.

Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir

Deep red ruby color and bright crimson tinge is the clear identifierfor Le Caprice. The vineyard shows its signature characteristics ofred forest fruit coupled with aromas of red cherry liqueur, currant,raspberry, strawberry, fresh leather and graphite. The 2010 vintageis refined and expressive with intense concentration in the mouth.The finish lingers both aromatically and subtly on the palate.

Instructions

  1. Instructions
  2. Well whip up the picante first. To do this, go ahead and add all the ingredients into your food processor. Zip it up good and then add in some salt to taste.
  3. Next up, grab your french loaf and slice it into 1 slices. Brush the melted butter over your slices of bread and then sprinkle on some cumin, chile powder, and garlic powder.
  4. Add all the melt ingredients with the exception of the pepper jack cheese to a bowl and mix it up good. Now grab your bread and lop a large spoonful of the tuna mixture on each piece. Top them all off with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Throw your sandwiches into an oven heated to 350 degrees and let them heat up for about 10 to 15 minutes or until your cheese is melted and bubbling.
