For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the salsa mixture. If you prefer a sweeter flavor profile, add a tablespoon of finely diced red bell pepper to the tuna mixture. To prevent the taco shells from becoming soggy, warm them slightly in a low oven or dry skillet before filling. This tuna salad is also delicious served on toasted bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps for a lighter option. Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice for extra zing. For added texture, consider adding some corn.
