Chickpea Tuna Sandwich

A new found favorite of mine since last year. One of the best go to recipes when you need a quick lunch. Minimal ingredients, but a lot of flavor & great source of plant-based protein & nutrients.

Growing up I use to love eating tuna especially on sandwiches & in wraps, it was one of the easiest things to make. This plant-based version is just as tasty if not better. The texture is on point as well & very similar to the real thing. Great recipe for beginner culinarians.

Serving Size

Serves 4 total. To increase the amount, add more toasted bread & the other toppings for the sandwich.
