Ingredients

• 10 oz canned tuna in water (drained)
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tbsp sugar-free sriracha sauce

• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it into smaller pieces.

Step 4

4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna mixture and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

5. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the cooked tuna with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 6
