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)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped green onions, diced cucumber, and avocado. Gently mix to combine, ensuring the avocado remains intact without mashing.

Step 4

Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and stir lightly to enhance freshness and flavor.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a bit more sriracha for extra spice or soy sauce for saltiness.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired and enjoy immediately.
