THAI SPICY TUNA LETTUCE WRAPS
Canned tuna, chilies, green onion, sesame oil and a spicy mayo on top of lettuce leaves turns this into a great appetizer or even a light meal. My family said, 'It's so good you can't tell it's canned tuna.'

TUNA LETTUCE WRAPS
These are a low-calorie, low-carb, but very tasty, light alternative to a tuna wrap sandwich! Try to choose larger leaves of lettuce with no tears or holes; lettuce leaves are replacing the tortilla in a traditional wrap sandwich. Cheese is optional, but even a little adds a lot of flavor.

SPICY ASIAN LETTUCE WRAPS
Originally a Cooking Light recipe, these wraps are great as a festive appetizer or a simple supper. I've added a few ingredients according to my own taste, and these are a hit every time I make them. Great for a dinner if you're short on time (or trying to beat the heat in the kitchen in the summer). Serve with a simple salad and a spicy dipping sauce! You can also replace the chicken with cubed tofu or cooked pork--I've had good luck with both!

Steps:
- Cover bean threads with boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes or until softened. Drain, and rinse under cool water. Chop noodles.
- While bean threads soak, combine cilantro, soy sauce, chile paste, and oil in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add noodles, chicken, and nuts to soy sauce mixture; toss well to coat. Stir in carrots and cucumber, if using.
- Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture down center of each lettuce leaf; roll up. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Tuna: Opt for sushi-grade or刺身grade tuna for the best flavor and texture. Avoid canned tuna as it won't provide the same quality.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices make a big difference in this recipe. Buy the best quality ingredients you can find.
- Don't Overcook the Tuna: Tuna cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Aim for a medium-rare or medium doneness.
- Make Ahead: The spicy tuna mixture can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. This makes it a great option for meal prep or last-minute entertaining.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or Sriracha sauce in the recipe. Alternatively, if you like it extra spicy, feel free to add more.
Conclusion:
Thai spicy tuna lettuce wraps are a delicious, healthy, and refreshing meal that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give Thai spicy tuna lettuce wraps a try. You won't be disappointed!
