Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Equipment: Mixing bowl, fork, plate, frying pan, spatula
Servings: Makes approximately 5 patties
Instructions:
1. Start by draining the tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork to ensure there are no chunks.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, finely chopped onions, cilantro, egg, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until evenly combined.
3. Form the mixture into patties. Use about less than a quarter cup of the mixture for each patty. Shape them to your desired thickness and set them aside on a plate.
4. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it using either canola oil or cooking spray, based on your preference.
5. Once the skillet is hot, place the patties in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook them in batches.
6. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. As you remove the patties from the skillet, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve the tuna patties with a side salad, slices of avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra zest.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure your hands are clean when forming the patties to maintain hygiene.
- Adjust the seasoning as per your taste and preference.
- Ensure not to overcook the patties; golden brown on each side is perfect.
