If you’re a fan of tuna sandwiches and want one that’s not too heavy or messy but still bursting with flavor, then this recipe is just right for you. My sister and I are big fans of tuna sandwiches. Whenever we meet up at a cafe, we always seek out their tuna sandwich. So, my sister Marisol decided to create the ultimate homemade version.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With minimal ingredients, it’s a delicious lunch option perfect for the whole family. The ingredient quantities listed are intended for making a large batch of sandwiches. If you’re planning to make just one or two sandwiches, I’d recommend dividing the ingredient amounts by four to match your needs.
Ingredients:
Serves 10-12 Sandwiches
- 66oz Tuna Albacore (big can)
- 1 Cup Mayo
- 1 Tsp Garlic powder
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Pepper
- Sandwich bread of preference
Other toppings: (optional)
- Muenster cheese slice
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Tomato slices
- Red onion slices
- Avocado slices
Chipotle cream Ingredients: (optional)
- 2 Chipotle peppers, canned
- 1 Cup Sour cream
- 1/4 Cup Mayo
- 1 Tsp Salt
Instructions:
- If you’re making the chipotle cream sauce, blend all the sauce ingredients in a blender and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine tuna, mayo, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Before assembling your sandwich, prepare any other toppings you like, such as tomato slices, lettuce, avocado, etc.
- Toast your bread, place a slice of cheese on it, add the tuna mixture, followed by your other toppings, and finish it off with the chipotle cream sauce.
- Enjoy it with your favorite chips as a side dish for a delicious lunch.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the optional ingredients in this recipe; they really take the sandwich to the next level. The lettuce brings a delightful crunch to each bite, and the addition of creamy avocado enhances the overall flavor. Trust me, one sandwich won’t be enough – you’ll find yourself wanting to savor more than one!

tuna melt it!
