Hey Chile-Heads! This week I share with you one of my favorite recipes I've developed: I call it TJ's Tuna Burgers. I named it this after using the delicious falafel mix from Trader Joe's. This falafel mix adds so much depth of flavor in these tuna burgers! They're hearty, savory, and nutritious; they're so easy to freeze too and save for later. Give these a try -- you and your family are going to love them!
Thank you so much for watching this video! I'm so excited to teach you guys all about New Mexican and Mexican cuisine, and even to visit more New Mexican restaurants here in Albuquerque. If you have any New Mexican/Mexican dishes you would like to see me cook on this channel, or any NM restaurants you'd like to see me visit, please let me know in a comment down below! Also, subscribe so you never miss one of my recipes.

TJ’s Tuna Burgers
Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil
Two 5 oz cans tuna, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise
One egg
Dash of worcestershire Sauce
Dash of hot pepper sauce
½ tsp dill weed
2 tbsp chili sauce (I use Chinese garlic chili sauce) see link below (www.target.com/p/huy-fong-chi...)
½ cup Trader Joe’s falafel mix (you can also use chickpea flour)
½ cup panko bread crumbs
⅛ tsp black pepper
⅓ cup diced onion
¼ cup diced celery
¼ cup diced bell pepper (any color)
Sriracha Mayo:
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp chili sauce
Directions:
Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a medium saucepan. Saute ⅓ cup minced onion, ¼ cup minced celery and ¼ cup bell pepper until soft. Set aside to cool. Combine two 5 oz cans of drained tuna, one egg, ¼ cup mayonnaise, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a dash of hot pepper sauce, ½ tsp dill weed, and 2 tbsp chili sauce in a large bowl. After celery, onion and pepper have cooled, add to the tuna mixture along with ½ cup Trader Joe’s falafel mix, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, ⅛ tsp black pepper, and ¼ tsp salt. Mix to combine. Shape into 4 tuna burgers. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to set up. Cook on a cast iron pan for best results. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with whole wheat buns and any toppings desired.
Note: the original recipe called for one 5 oz can of tuna. I found that it wasn’t enough. You can adjust to your liking.
