12 Easy CANNED TUNA RECIPES You Can Do at Home!



Back in college and in my early years as a yuppie, I was powered by canned tuna. I used to make sandwiches using canned tuna and sauté tuna with soy sauce, calamansi, onion and egg. I know it isn’t ideal, but I didn’t have much time in my hands. Canned tuna was pretty accessible and convenient.

Tuna is a popular canned product worldwide, especially among busy bees, because it’s easy to get, easy to store, and easy to prepare. Since the quarantine period began, because I was a bit afraid to go out all the time, I found myself relying on canned tuna when we’re running out of fresh ingredients. But because I can’t make sandwiches every single time, I combed through the internet to find more ways to enjoy canned tuna. Here are some creative and practical recipes we found on YouTube.
