Let's dig in.
The Origin of Spicy Tuna
To understand the Spicy Tuna, you first have to know about JOE’s original tuna sandwich, the Tunacado. We could go on and on about our love for this undisputed classic, but we’ll save that for another post.
Basically, the Tunacado walked, so the Spicy Tuna could run. Building on the rock-solid foundation of sumptuous tuna mousse and crunchy sandwich bread, we decided to turn up the heat by adding spicy jalapeños and a healthy dash of red-hot Tabasco.
And that turned out to be a great idea. After the Tunacado reached viral fame online, people quickly discovered its spicy brother. The result? A surge in popularity – and a loyal following of fans coming back for that fiery kick again and again.
What Ingredients are in Spicy Tuna?
Just like its older brother, the Tunacado, the Spicy Tuna is built on a foundation of our world-famous tuna mousse, vegan pesto, and signature sandwich bread. Then we add a few special ingredients to give it that signature heat.
Here’s everything that goes into making a Spicy Tuna:
1. Tuna mousse
2. Jalapeños
3. Tabasco
4. Vegan pesto
5. Tomato
6. Crunchy sandwich bread
Spice. Made simple. If you’re not big on gluten, we’ve got you covered. All sandwiches can be made with great tasting gluten free bread, too.
