- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna (in water)

- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, Dijon mustard, chopped cilantro, lime juice, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.
Toast the sourdough bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil onto one side of each bread slice to add extra richness.
On two of the bread slices, layer baby spinach leaves to create a bed of greens.
Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the two prepared slices, spreading it out gently over the spinach.
Top the tuna mixture with avocado slices for added creaminess.
Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches, olive-oil side facing outward.
Press the sandwiches lightly, then slice them in half, if desired, for easy serving.
