Spicy, Crunchy Tuna Salad Lettuce Cups

This is not your deli’s tuna salad—OK, it kinda is, but with a twist. Meet spicy, crunchy tuna salad lettuce cups. They’re like your protein-packed, cheap lunch staple, but with lettuce instead of bread (refreshing!) and plenty of our fave condiment, chile crisp. We like the one from Fly by Jing, but you can also make your own if you’re feeling ambitious.
