  2. Stuff the two pepper halves with tuna mixture. Place provolone cheese slices on each half. Broil the peppers for a few min or until cheese melts. If you prefer your peppers to be soft rather than crunchy, boil your peppers in boiling water for 5 min or until desired tenderness.

*If you do not want cheese, use 7 oz of tuna for a full lean and add 1 more Healthy Fat. 1 Serving with 1 Lean, 3 Greens, 3 Condiments, and 1 Healthy Fat per Serving
