Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mexican Tuna Salad
  1. Begin by opening two cans of solid white albacore tuna, then drain the liquid thoroughly. Flake the tuna into a large mixing bowl using a fork.
  2. Next, drain and rinse one can of black beans under cold water, then add them to the bowl with the flaked tuna. Include one cup of corn and gently combine until evenly mixed.
  3. Finely dice one red bell pepper and half of a small red onion. Chop about a quarter cup of fresh cilantro. Add these vibrant vegetables to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Add a quarter cup of light mayonnaise and a quarter cup of plain Greek yogurt to the mixture. Using a spatula, thoroughly incorporate until your salad achieves a creamy consistency.
  5. Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime directly into the bowl, then sprinkle in your favorite taco seasonings. Stir the entire mixture well to combine all flavors.
  6. Taste your Mexican Tuna Salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can serve it immediately or transfer it to an airtight container for storage.
