With only a few cupboard items and fresh ingredients, you can quickly prepare a tasty supper with this simple recipe.

Ingredients:

1. ½ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
2. 1 large egg
3. ¼ cup mayonnaise
4. ¼ cup green onion, finely chopped

1. 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
2. ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
4. ½ teaspoon onion powder
5. ¼ teaspoon black pepper
6. ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2. 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. To make the combination, put the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, green onions, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice in a big mixing bowl.
2. Create the patties: With your hands, form the tuna mixture into tiny patties that have a diameter of two to three inches. Depending on how big you make them, you can probably get between six and eight patties out of them.
3. Heat up the oil. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Make sure there is enough room between the tuna patties when you gently put them to the pan after the oil is heated.
4. The patties should be sautéed. Cook the patties until they are crispy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes each side. As needed, adjust the heat to keep them from burning.
5. Transfer the tuna cakes from the pan to a platter covered with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil before plating the meal. Savour the warm patties on their own or with a salad, rice, or a tasty dipping sauce like tartar or aioli.

In conclusion, these Jalapeño and Cilantro Spicy Tuna Cakes are an excellent choice for a filling and speedy supper. They are a great option for tuna fans who want a little heat since they are full of flavour, have a hint of spice, and have fresh cilantro. These tuna cakes will dazzle whether you’re looking for a tasty snack or a simple weekday supper.
