Just a comment for now, this sounds wonderful. Never thought to add eggs to tuna salad. I make my mother’s potato salad and the secret to it is many eggs added to it. Thank you and after i make it i’ll take a pic and give my review. Mikki btw I just signed up to get your emails too. Cheers
That was amazing! I just made it for dinner. Very healthy and extremelly high in protein. I additionally added fresh red paprika, spread the tortilla with avocado and topped with picked red onions. I also replaced hard boilled eggs with omelette.
That looks so delicious!!
Delicious recipe and nice change from the regular tuna or egg salad. Next time I think I will cut the eggs in half and double the tuna because I’m more of a tuna fan.
This sounds very good but 8 eggs seems like a lot. I may cut in in half.
I cannot believe how delicious this is! I want to eat the entire bowl right now.
