"I learned this one from my Middle-Eastern friends who used to make it for a quick late-night snack. It is very simple and good and I make it all the time now for quick snacks!! I love eating it with pita bread for lunch/late-night, or with rice for dinner."

What a wonderful suprise with great flavors. This was a tasty, light meal. I topped an Indian pita with the mixture, and ate it like a pizza. Delish! Thanks.

This is OK but I don't think I like tuna heated so much to just eat with rice crackers as we did to be gluten free. I used Clover Leaf tuna in water, cayenne pepper powder, to taste instead of the jalapeno pepper, as that is what I had on hand, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and I did add the optional freshly squeezed lemon juice and red Tabasco sauce per our taste.
