Tuna Patties Aka Tuna Cakes Recipe (gluten-free, Egg-free)
  1. To a large bowl, add tuna, chives, cilantro, mashed sweet potato, tapioca starch, jalapeño, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and lime zest. Mix well to combine.

  2. Using a spoon, portion the mixture into 9 even-sized pieces then use your hands to shape the mixture into flat, round patties, about 2 inches in diameter.* Set aside on a plate or parchment paper-lined tray.

  3. In a skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over low-medium heat.

  4. Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of the skillet.

  5. Serve warm tuna patties on a plate with avocado lime crema dipping sauce.** Garnish with flaky sea salt, chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge (optional).

  6. In a food processor, blender, or in a bowl by hand with a fork or spoon, combine the mashed avocado, cilantro, coconut yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and sea salt until smooth.

  7. Transfer the avocado lime crema to a small bowl for serving.
