Thai Spicy Tuna Lettuce Wraps image

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.'

I was disappointed with these wraps. The tuna salad was bland and the lettuce wraps were soggy.

These wraps are a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less Sriracha.

These are a great way to use up leftover tuna. I also added some chopped cucumber and red onion to the filling for extra crunch.
