Tuna Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Tuna Stuffed Zucchini Boats feature zucchini halves hollowed out and filled with a tuna mixture that includes sauteed zucchini flesh and red onion. The boats are topped with cheddar cheese and baked until tender and golden. The texture combines the softness of cooked zucchini and melted cheese with the savory tuna filling enhanced by the mild heat of jalapenos in the tuna can's olive oil.
