Tuna is one of the proteins I can have on my diet and a can is 5oz so it's perfect and has become my lunch on the go or speedy lunch. Plain, the stuff is awful. Just last Friday I was at the park with our friends and I had to eat it from the can with my hand (forgot a fork!) and it was like choking down wood chips it was so dry. Disgusting. After loathing tuna but needing it in my life, I came up with this super simple recipe to make it amazing and delicious and when I eat it I just picture myself indulging in a spicy tuna roll. Mmmm!
Ingredients
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on your level of bold and daring, of course)
1/8-1/4 tsp chili powder
garlic powder
black pepper
1 can tuna in water
So, dump your can of tuna in a pan cooking on medium high. No need for Pam or oil because the water is going in with it. Now sprinkle on your powders (I'd start with 1/8th tsp of cayenne pepper and chili powder and work up from there) and add a few shakes of garlic powder and pepper and give it a good stir. Let it simmer. It takes about 5 minutes to cook (so meanwhile I'm steaming a bag of broccoli in the microwave usually) and tastes great hot off the oven!
Dump it onto your plate with some broccoli and maybe some brown rice if you can eat carbs and want the extra calories and you have a delicious, salt-free, high flavor protein packed lunch! 100 calories for that delicious tuna!
And believe me it's GOOD (even though it looks like cat food). Just talking about it has made me decide I'm making it for dinner because I haven't cooked it since Saturday and that is just too long!
Enjoy!
