When time is not on our side, canned tuna can be our best allies. Canned tuna is not just for salads; it can be used in pastas, tacos and even to make burgers. When I don’t have enough time to prepare dinner, I open up my pantry and find a couple of cans of tuna to prepare these delicious burgers. What I like about them most, aside from their delicious taste with lemon and jalapeño, is that I can have them ready in 20 minutes.
