Black Bean Tuna Salad

A quick and healthy tuna salad with a different twist. I put this together for lunch today, just tossing together what sounded good. The flavors came together nicely, I thought, so I am posting the recipe. It was great served in a whole-wheat tortilla.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2 (6 ounce) cans  solid albacore tuna, drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (I do this in a strainer)
• 1 (4 ounce) can  chopped green chilies, drained
• 3  tablespoons  chopped red onions
• 1 -2  tablespoon  chopped fresh cilantro
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise (I used light)

• 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
•  fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, flake tuna with a fork; add beans, chiles, onions, and cilantro and toss to combine.
2. In a small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients; add to tuna mixture and carefully toss to incorporate ingredients.
3. Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired.
