Ingredients
5 ounces canned tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
1 can (4 oz) chopped roasted green chiles
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
6 slider rolls, split
fresh lettuce leaves
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained flaked tuna, chopped green chiles, diced celery, diced red onion, light mayonnaise, and fresh cilantro. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the tuna salad is well combined.
Place a slider roll on a clean work surface and carefully separate the top and bottom halves.
Line the bottom half of each slider roll with one or two fresh lettuce leaves.
Spoon a generous portion of the tuna mixture onto the lettuce-lined bottom half of each roll.
Top each slider with the upper half of the roll and serve immediately.
Comments
All ingredients are readily available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger locations across Charlotte, with canned or fresh tuna running $2–$4 per can and fresh chiles typically under $2 a pound. The 10-minute claim is honest for assembly but glosses over any time needed to drain and chop; budget 15 minutes if you're prepping from scratch. This is a light, fussy meal better suited to a single person or lunch gathering than a family dinner, and it does not keep well overnight—the celery softens and the rolls absorb moisture—so plan it as a same-day cook. Green chiles are seasonal (late summer into fall) and fit North Carolina's produce calendar, and canned versions work just as well when fresh are scarce.
