Tips:

- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to avoid extra moisture that might dilute the flavors.

- If you prefer more heat, consider adding extra chili sauce or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

- Feel free to add extra herbs like parsley or thyme for additional flavor complexity.

- Serve with whole grain crackers or fresh veggie sticks for a balanced meal.
