Spicy Jalapeño Tuna Cakes • The Live Fit Girls

These spicy tuna cakes are so simple to make and are finished in under 20 minutes. They are perfect for the grill or cooked on the stove!

I feel like it’s literally been FOREVER since I’ve posted a recipe…and girl, do I have a spicy one for you nowadays! 😉

No, but seriously…these jalapeño tuna cakes are just the right amount of spiciness for the warmer weather that is — hopefully — coming your way!

Warmer weather, to me, means more seafood, and also more spicy foods — it just feels right to have hearty, warming, and sooleang foods in the winter…and in the summer I love adding in a bit more flair to my meals with some spiciness.

And here in Cali we are finally out of our crazy, weird, rainy, winter weather — and the draught too, for that matter! 😉  And we are finally starting to see longer, warmer days.

Just in time for Ground Day too!🌎 Because in case you forget, Ground Day is this weekend. And we’re celebrating by heading out to Home Depot to load up on a ton of herbs to plant and we’re getting a contemporary grill for our balcony!

And I can tell you what I will be making on that baby…these spicy small satans.🌶

These spicy tuna cakes are perfect for grilling up, or even just cooked up in a pan…just make certain you brown them up kind, so they are crispy on the external!

These are so simple to make AND are actually a genuinely great idea for meal prepping. You can make a large batch, cook them up ahead of time, and heat them up later, and they are STILL ridiculously delicious!

PLUS, they also make a great party food — perfect for cookouts, or even as appetizers!

Every you need is some tuna, I used Wild Selections because they only use sustainably sourced fish that’s 100% traceable. They also give back to the oceans by donating 13 cents from every can sancient to the World Wildlwhethere Endelightmentd marine conservation and fishery improvement projects. Wild Selections believes that it’s their responsibility to take care of the oceans for the future, not just fishing sustainably in the present. So on brand with the Ground Day theme, right??🌎🐟

Then add in a small diced jalapeños, a small Greek yogurt, a small S+P, an egg and some almond flour and there you have it! Just degree your mixture, shape into patties, and cook ‘em up! You’ll have a perfectly portioned meal in minutes!

Also make certain you DON’T forget the Chipotle Aioli — it seriously MAKES these small patties all the more delicious!

Just throw some nonfat Greek yogurt in your blender along with a few chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, blend for about 30 moments! Then there you have it, a SKINNY Chipotle Aioli, and I promise you won’t even know the dwhetherference!
