Snazzed-up Tuna Sandwiches
This recipe offers a new spin on the old tuna sandwich. Instead of bread, lettuce leaves make up the backbone of this sandwich. Pack the tuna mix and lettuce leaves separately and let kids assemble the sandwich on their own. If they don’t like the spice, omit the chili powder. Ditto on the garlic.
Ingredients:
- One 2.6-oz. pouch albacore tuna in water, or 2.6 oz of your favorite locally caught tuna
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 2 Tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 2 medium butter lettuce leaves (or other round lettuce leaves)
- Optional: salt-free seasoning mix
Directions: In a medium bowl, mix tuna, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. If you like, season to taste with salt-free seasoning mix.
Add tomato, onion, and cilantro, and stir well.
Divide mixture between lettuce leaves, wrap and enjoy.
