When I was a kid we lived out in the country and my mom often had to get creative with what was in the pantry. One day she made us tuna tacos! I have to admit, we were skeptical at first, but one bite and we demanded more! It’s a perfect recipe for pantry diving. You’ll be surprised how good it is! Trust me on this!
