Mexican-Style Tuna Sandwich 🥪

My husband loves this sandwich to take to work. It keeps well for several hours, doesn't have a strong smell, is mayonnaise-free, and is rich in protein and vegetables😋. The quantities are for 4 sandwiches. Ideally, make the filling a day before and simply assemble in the morning. It lasts well for a couple of days in the fridge.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and pepper, and set aside.
- 2
Drain the tuna cans well and place in a pan with a little oil over medium heat. Stir constantly; this step is to evaporate more water from the tuna, as we want it dry.
- 3
Now add the chopped vegetables, mix, and add a little salt. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, allowing it to lose liquid. This takes about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the cilantro and add it when the tuna looks like a paste. The cilantro will give a fresh flavor and soften the fish smell.

Continue cooking over low heat until it looks golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
- 5
To assemble the sandwich, lightly toast 2 slices of bread, in an air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes, or on a griddle for a little longer. This helps the bread better withstand the moisture of the ingredients.

Spread one slice with refried beans and the other with avocado. Then add a few spoonfuls of the cooked tuna and close the sandwich. Wrap to take with you, and it's ready.

It still have a great flavor even without the chopped onion, AND! At least good for your breath 😂😂😂Well, a story about a mom who needs to be quick in the kitchen 😅😅😅 Yanny Widjanarko -

Delicious & Fresh Tuna Sandwiches Delicious & Fresh Tuna Sandwiches
I love this version of tuna salad sandwiches! I always incorporate fresh chopped vegetables to add both taste and crunch. Curry powder and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper make it taste amazing but are optional. I don't like a lot of mayo but feel free to adjust the amount of mayo to your liking. I recommend multigrain or chia bread, but use whatever bread you prefer. Sometimes I add chopped apples to the sandwich, try it if you dig a bit of sweetness with savory foods! Mindy -
