Instructions

Prepare the Tuna: Drain the excess water from the canned tuna and transfer it to a large bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna.
Mix Ingredients: To the same bowl, add diced cucumber, celery, green onion, mayonnaise, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. Adjust the seasonings if needed – add more sriracha for extra spice or more mayo for a creamier texture.
Prepare the Seaweed: If using large sheets of nori, cut each sheet into four smaller pieces. If you’re using pre-seasoned seaweed snacks, skip this step and use them as is.
Assemble the Snacks: Place the seaweed snacks or nori sheets on a plate and top each one with a spoonful of the tuna mixture. The recipe makes about 8 “bites” or wraps.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and drizzle with extra sriracha if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Add More Spice: For more heat, increase the amount of sriracha or add chili flakes to the tuna mixture.
Use Avocado: Swap mayo for mashed avocado for a creamy, healthier alternative, or combine both for a richer texture.
Add Crunch: Toss in chopped bell peppers or shredded carrots for an extra crunch and color.
Make It Vegan: Use mashed avocado, a plant-based mayo, and a vegan version of nori seaweed for a fully plant-based snack.
