Ingredients 

  • 12 oz canned tuna, drained
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Clamato
  • A few dashes of hot sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt to taste
  • Tortilla chips or tostadas, for serving

Instructions 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl, then serve with tortilla chips or tostadas.

Notes

 • For best flavor, let it sit for 5–10 minutes so everything melds before serving.
• Add diced avocado for extra creaminess.
• Swap in cucumber or mango for a fun variation.
• If you prefer a spicier bite, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or use a serrano.
• Use low-sodium tuna if you want more control over saltiness.
