Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or some diced bell peppers to the tuna mixture. If you don't have chives, green onions or finely chopped parsley can be used as substitutes. To make it lighter, try using low-fat cottage cheese. Also, ensure the muffin tins are well-greased to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
