The addition of Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Mayo makes this Chipotle Tuna Salad Sandwich one spicy number that you’ll be craving again and again.

Chipotle Tuna Salad SandwichYou couldn’t feed me tuna when I was younger. I refused to eat it. Not even in a tuna noodle hot dish. And forget about tuna salad, because SO MUCH MAYO. Ew.

I thought it was weird to eat fish from a can. And it smelled funny.

Don’t get me wrong. I like fish. I just assumed that fish from a can couldn’t possibly taste good.

Fast-forward to about a month ago. There I was, in the grocery store buying Spam (don’t judge me!), which is next to the canned tuna. It so happened that canned tuna was on sale, so I impulsively decided to buy two cans.

I had no plans for my impulsively-purchased tuna. That is, until I remembered that I still had Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Mayo left. IMHO, most tuna salad sandwiches are pretty boring. And just wind up tasting like mayo bombs, a real downer when you dislike the taste. I had an inkling that a Chipotle Tuna Salad Sandwich would be anything but. 

Tuna + Chipotle Roasted Garlic Mayo = money. Do people say ‘money’ anymore? If not, they should. Because this tuna salad is money. It converted even this mayo-hater to enjoying a tuna salad sandwich every now and again.
