Spice up your tuna fish with this easy modified recipe that one of my student's families made for me - authentic Mexican! Serve with tortilla chips.

Spicy Mexican Tuna Salad

(5 ounce) can tuna, drained

peas,

chipotle peppers

mayonnaise,

onion,

garlic salt,

ground black pepper,

Mix tuna, peas, chipotle peppers, mayonnaise, dried minced onion, garlic salt, and black pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.


I only used one pepper and it was still really spicy.

I altered this quite a bit. Omitted the peas and added a couple stalks of chopped celery. I take Chipotles in Adobo sauce and chop them up in a little food processor. Take a portion of the mixture and wrap it in a 10 inch tortilla with some shredded cheddar cheese (and hot pepper rings if you want). Bake that in a toaster oven until the tortilla is just crispy. I would never have put the tuna and chipotles together without this recipe!

Quite delicious. I made this as written using the suggested 'more to taste' 2 chipotle peppers. It was a really nice change for tuna salad. We packed it in our lunches one day on a wrap with lettuce and tomato slices and the next day a top of a bed of lettuce as a salad. We enjoyed it both ways. The next time I'm going to add a stalk of celery as we like the crunch it adds to tuna.

Great! Loved the spiciness. I would have never thought to put peas in my tuna

This is yummy! I used about 1 T diced yellow onion instead of dried. I will try this again.
