Introduction
After many trips to London and countless hours spent at the airport, I found myself relying on Joe & The Juice for a quick yet healthy bite to eat. Their iconic Tunacado sandwich became a favourite of mine, so I’ve had to recreate it for when I crave this sandwich.

Method
In a large bowl, combine the tuna, mayo, lemon juice, mustard, coriander, jalapeños, hot sauce, salt and pepper, giving it a good mix with a fork.
Cut the corners from your pitta to recreate the iconic Joe & The Juice Tunacado look and air-fry for 5 minutes at 200°C.
Once cooked, slice the pitta in half and add 1 teaspoon of pesto to each side of the pitta. On one side add your tuna mixture, then top with tomato and avocado slices and some fresh dill, if you like. Pop the other half of the pitta on top to make a sandwich, then wrap it in some greaseproof paper for the full effect.
