Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Add the tuna, scallions, cilantro, mayonnaise, chili, and lime juice to a bowl and give it a good mix. Taste and season with salt if needed.
- Place the lettuce leaves on a plate and top with the tuna mix. Fold together like a wrap and enjoy your first bite.
Tips
Instead of the chili you could also use any other chili paste, such as sriracha, sambal oelek, or sugar free chili and garlic sauce.
For an even more filling meal, add half of an avocado and a soft boiled egg.
You could replace the tuna with cooked chicken breast if you prefer.
My suggestion:
To make it a little more Thai I'll rather skip the mayo and add some fish sauce.
So glad you love it!
