  • “i made this this morning and ate it with rice. it was sooo good. i dont like tuna and i dont like spicy food but this was great. i followed evrything exactly since i had all the ingredients at hand. i cant imagine eating tuna any other way. (im picky)”

  • “Great light sandwich. I made this without the hot chili powder because my wife doesn’t like spicey food, but it still had excellent taste. We had with kidney bean salad. Super dinner.”

  • “This was so good!! i was trying to find a way to get a lowfat high protein lunch. I am not a big tuna fan, but this was really good. I did add a scoop of mayo at the end, just to make it a little more moist. It was really great!!”

  • “I made this recipe to the letter (without the optional garlic seasoning), and had it as is (not as a sandwich) with a garden salad on the side. It was just the right amount of heat for these well-seasoned taste buds, and a definite keeper. I loved it! Absolutely well worth the 5 min. minimal effort for this former tuna hater!”

  • “Yum! A new twist on tuna for me! I spread some cream cheese on bread and put the tuna on it and grilled it like grilled cheese. It was delicious!”

  • “I made this with canned chicken and followed the recipe exactly. It nade a nicely spiced, very tasty filling to put on top of toasted whole grain bread. This has a lot of flavor and is very easy and quick to make. Thanks najwa!”

  • “Flavor was good. Tasted more like salmon then tuna”
