Made with canned tuna, chile peppers, Thai basil, and cilantro, these lettuce wraps drizzled with spicy mayo are a delicious appetizer. Double up on servings if you want to serve them as a lighter main course. My family says they’re so good, nobody will know they’re made with canned tuna.
Ingredients
Spicy Mayo
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Asian red chili paste (sambal)
Lettuce Wraps
- 3 (5 ounce) cans Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped Thai basil
- ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 6 green onions, chopped, divided
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 teaspoons Asian red chili paste (sambal)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 cups gourmet salad greens

Directions
Step 1
Make the spicy mayo: Mix Sriracha, mayonnaise, and sambal together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
Step 2
Make the lettuce wraps: Empty drained tuna into a large bowl. Break up tuna into large chunks. Add 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup basil, bell pepper, onion, carrot, 2/3 of the green onions, and jalape?o pepper; gently mix to combine, being careful not to break tuna apart too much.
Step 3
Whisk sesame oil, sambal, sesame seeds, sugar, salt, pepper, lime juice, and garlic together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over tuna mixture and mix carefully.
Step 4
Spoon tuna mixture onto lettuce leaves and drizzle spicy mayo over top. Garnish with remaining green onions, cilantro, and basil.
Cook’s Notes:
Use Thai chile peppers instead of jalape?o for a bit more spicy flavor.
