Here are the items that you will need:
Paper Plate
Plastic silverware
Tuna in a pouch
Mayo
Onions
Relish
Tortilla Chips
Scissors
Set out your paper plate, I prefer the ones with the high sides so items stay on the plate better, I also get the ones that kind of have the waxy coating on them so liquids don't soak through the plate.
Rip open the tuna pouch. I get tuna in a pouch so that way I don't have to worry about draining any liquids off but there are draw backs to the pouch. Once you rip off the top of the pouch better check the top part that you ripped off for any lingering tuna that is hiding there and pick it all out, I am anal about getting all the little pieces out, it is too dang expensive to waste! Use your plastic silverware to dig out the rest of the tuna that is in the pouch and because the pouch is square you are really gonna have to get in there and be persistant to get the tuna out of the corners. Now notice I just said silverware and not something specific like spoon or fork, that is because all plastic silverware is crap and it really doesn't matter which one you use because you will fight them the whole way of the process so just use the one you don't mind throwing across the truck.
Next step is one that you have to be prepared for is the mayo, onions, and relish. I cannot buy these items as they have to refrigerated once opened so every time I am in a truck stop and scan the condiments section that is there for when you puchase their sandwiches or hot dogs. Now ketchup and mustard are easy finds as they are available almost anywhere including restaurants but the real finds are the ones we need for this recipe. Once you find a place that has these don't be afraid and hork those suckers into your pocket, trust me they don't mind. Once you get a collection going I find it easier to seperate them into zip lock bags to keep them organized and easier to find what you are needing. For this recipe you will need: 2 relish (this really helps hide the taste of the other ingredients) 1 onion (it is more like onion water) and 2 mayo ( I would prefer something with more zing like Miracle Whip but hey). Now comes in the scissors. Notice on the packages it says "tear here" um yeah. I would say the tear here tab only works 10% of the time the rest of the time you are cussing and chewing on the dang thing trying to open it, save your sanity for other things and open them with the scissors.
Now mix thouroughly, you don't want to have any big clumps of anything that can be recognized. Use your plastic silverware to put small clumps of this "stuff" on a tortilla chip and enjoy. I find that if you imagine you are eating something good and hold your nose it isn't too bad.
Now for clean up when done, wipe your hands on your pants as you are going to have some salt and oil residue on them from the chips. Take your plastic silverware and lick it feverishly so as to not leave anything left on it and dry it with a napkin you got from a restaurant. Thow away plate and don't leave the trash sitting too long in the truck on a warm day your will smell rotten fish for a long time after.
Seriously it isn't that bad but compared to a home cooked meal it is severely lacking. I guess I look on facebook and talk to my mom and they are all canning their items from the garden and makes me jealous because I was wanting to do that and bet it tastes heavenly. I am still bored out of my gourd and it is still raining and I am getting cabin fever and so I tried to be creative on my blog today to relieve some of that boredom. Happy canning all!
I would like to mention too that I am thankful that I have things to eat and I am not starving by stretch of the imagination.
