Spicy Tuna Salad Pitas With Cilantro image

Tuna salad with a little bite! Makes a nice change when you want something different for lunch or a quick dinner. Had these with my mom before tackling the shopping crowds this past weekend...we wound up going on a cookbook binge! Serves 1 but can easlily be doubled or adapted to make more servings.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of bread or wrap that you like, and you can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I've even made this recipe with grilled chicken instead of tuna.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The spice level is just right, and the other ingredients in the salad help to balance it out. I would definitely make this again!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I usually make a big batch of tuna salad on Sunday, and then I use it throughout the week in sandwiches, wraps, and salads. This spicy version is a nice change of pace from the classic tuna salad.
