Ingredients

  • 1 10 ounces can of tuna
  • 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 Chipotle pepper in adobo “La Morena” minced
  • 1 Tbsp. Adobo sauce from the Chipotles.
  • 4 Slices sandwich bread
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • After you open the can of tuna, drain the meat using a strainer. Next, transfer tuna to a medium size mixing bowl and break pieces apart with a fork.
  • Add the mayo, minced chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce and mix. Stir in the chopped onions and combine with the tuna mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread tuna mixture on two slices of bread. Top with the other slices.
  • Next, heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4 –5 minutes per side. Serve with potato chips or cucumber slices. 
  • You can serve more Chipotles on the side if you want to add more to your sandwich.

Notes

  • If you are looking for a quick appetizer dip, place the same ingredients plus ½ cup of cream cheese in your food processor, and serve with crackers. 
  • A few additional ingredients to your chipotle tuna salad for this sandwich are celery, tomatoes, slice avocados and red onions, depending on your taste.
  • You can also add a chopped garlic clove or your favorite fresh herbs, like a teaspoon of chop parsley or cilantro.
