This Spicy Tuna Sandwich is one of my husband’s favorite sandwiches to make when we just want a quick bite to eat with minimal effort. The green chiles give it an amazing spicy kick and the avocado adds a smooth and creamy texture. We love serving this Spicy Tuna Sandwich with a hot bowl of soup on the side!
