April 2016 Theme: Limpin’ Along for Lunch
Ever get in a lunch rut? Need new ideas for packing your kids’ or your own lunch? Are packable noontime options dwindling? Surely you’ve met the ‘What shall I pack for lunch?” question head-on with creative ideas. Please share your healthy lunch recipe – so we can swap it into our own rotation.
One day a week or two ago Mr. Hungry declared “no more quinoa, I can’t do any more quinoa, NO MORE!” Well, that wasn’t going to happen because I had a huge batch of it pre-made and no other healthy carbohydrate source to substitute. Then I had an EUREKA moment, I’m going to bake them into sliders that won’t even be recognized as quinoa!
Since Mr. Hungry also would like a long break from tuna salad I figured I could use the tuna up by adding a can in for some healthy lean protein. After that, I went and taco-fide them, which is literally the best part of the whole thing. The result? Mr. Hungry has been asking for some of those yummy taco cakes! This is how I feel about that ——> I WIN I WIN I WIN!
These Taco Tuna Quinoa Sliders are the ultimate make-ahead protein-packed lunch, snack, or whenever option. They are freezable so you can make a million of them to have whenever you want ( like I finally decided to do!) Did I mention they are only five ingredients? Simplicity for the win!

Rebecca says
Could you replace the tuna with chicken mince or beef mince?
Kelli Shallal MPH RD says
I'm not sure about mince, but you could probably do canned chicken!
