Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise (sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Cucumber (diced)
- 1 medium Avocado (diced)
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 6 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves (optional, for wraps)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the drained canned tuna to the bowl and mix well, breaking up the tuna into smaller pieces to evenly coat it with the sauce.
Fold in the chopped green onions, diced cucumber, and avocado. Gently mix to combine, ensuring the avocado remains intact without mashing.
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and stir lightly to enhance freshness and flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a bit more sriracha for extra spice or soy sauce for saltiness.
Serve the spicy tuna mixture on its own, scooped into romaine lettuce leaves for wraps, or over a warm bed of cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired and enjoy immediately.
