SWEET & SPICY TUNA FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO SAUCE
Ingredients
• 2 cans chunk light tuna in water
• 3/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup diced pineapple
• 1/2 cup onion, minced
• 1 jalapeno minced
• 2 eggs
• 1 package Diamond Bakery Soda Cracker Meal
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
• vegetable oil for pan frying
For the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
• 2 avocados
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices
• squeeze or lemon juice
Instructions
Drain the tuna well.
In a large bowl, add tuna and gently flake.
Add 1/2 cup of the soda cracker meal, along with the remaining ingredients, and stir until well combined and fully incorporated. Reserve the remaining cracker meal for frying the fritters.
Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat on medium-high. Place the remaining cracker meal on a plate. Form fritter patties using a 1/4 cup measure. Dredge both sides in cracker meal and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet, if needed, after each batch. Place on paper towels.
For the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
In a blender, add all the ingredients for the creamy jalapeno sauce and pulse until smooth.
Top with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
