Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1.5 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Garlic whistles (chopped)
- 1 stalk Celery (diced)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix until the tuna is evenly coated.
Stir in chopped garlic whistles, diced celery, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Spread half the tuna mixture evenly over each slice of bread in the skillet.
Top the tuna with a lettuce leaf and cover with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich to toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
