This is my copycat of Joe & The Juice’s Tunacado Sandwich that went viral on TikTok. It’s super simple to make and tastes so delicious!! I used Trader Joe’s Vegan Pesto (Joe & The Juice also uses vegan pesto), but regular pesto works great too. The combination of flavors and textures is what really makes this sandwich special, make sure you use a mixer if you want to recreate Joe & The Juice “tuna mousse” *Watch my 20-second Instagram Recipe Video here

Joe & The Juice uses their own special whole wheat flat bread that’s grilled in a press until it’s super crispy and thin, I haven’t been able to find something similar yet, but Trader Joe’s Multigrain Rustico Bread was great for this sandwich Viral Tunacado Sandwich Recipe
