Spicy Tuna Stir Fry with Jalapeño Kick

Ingredients

- 1 can (12 oz) tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Preparation
- Combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, jalapeño juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.
- Drain the tuna thoroughly and set aside.
- Prepare all the vegetables: finely chop the jalapeño, celery, onion, and cilantro.

2. Stir Frying
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté for approximately 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the celery softens.
- Add the chopped jalapeño. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the spice.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the drained tuna to the skillet. Stir and break apart the tuna gently with a spatula for 2 minutes.
- Pour the prepared mayonnaise mixture over the tuna and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well-coated. Cook for another 3 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.

3. Finishing Touches
- Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro to add freshness to the dish.
- Serve the Spicy Tuna Stir Fry hot, garnished with a few cilantro leaves for an added burst of color.
