Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna in water (drained)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons celery (finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 leaves romaine lettuce leaves (or other large-leaf lettuce)
- 1 medium avocado (sliced)
- 1 small jalapeno (optional, thinly sliced)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, green onion, celery, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sriracha if desired for additional flavor or heat.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. You’ll need three leaves per sandwich to create a sturdy base and wrap.
Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the lettuce leaves, spooning it into the center of each set of three leaves.
Top the tuna mixture with avocado slices and, if desired, a few thin slices of jalapeno for extra spiciness.
Fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling gently to create a wrap-like sandwich. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly for a portable meal. Enjoy!
