    Easy and quick recipe to prepare baked TUNA CASSEROLE or option to prepare cold tuna cake. A complete super-yielding dish, ideal for the whole family, it is also known as tuna soufflé or tuna sandwich accompanied by a super-rich jalapeno cream that gives this Mexican Style Casserole tuna a unique delicious flavor.

    You can make this recipe in the oven or leave it cold, either of the 2 options you will love, you can also put as many layers of bread as you like and the container allows you, I only placed a layer of bread at the bottom to make it a little healthier but optional.

    A dish with a very light spicy flavor, I give you the option of using Greek yogurt instead of cream to make it with less fat, you can also omit the cream cheese if you wish.

    HOW TO MAKE TUNA CASSEROLE

    We are going to toast the jalapeño peppers, onion and garlic cloves, place a little olive oil on a napkin and rub them before placing them on a grill or comal.
