This is my take on a super quick tuna salad that you can eat by itself or put on bread or crackers. It’s easy and fast to make and has one of the highest protein-to-calorie ratio of anything I’ve made.
Also, I’ve been spending most of my meal prep time on making burritos to last the week. I kind of have formula down. 2 lbs of lean meat (ground chicken/beef, breast, thigh, anything), 1 can of refried black beans, reduced fat cheese, 10 slices of beef or turkey bacon. It makes your week super easy to prep in advance and throw these burritos in the freezer. Anyway, on to the recipe for the tuna salad.

Directions
- Make the creamy base first
- Break up the tuna with a fork (don’t smash) and mix with the rest of the tuna base.

This is a super filling, high protein meal for those days you don’t want to spend much time making anything. You can also used diced red onion instead of the celery or pickles to add that crunch.
