This Chickpea Tuna Toast inspired by the viral Tunacado aka Joe and the juice sandwich…but better is going to blow your mind. The chickpea tuna can be served on its own as a salad or on a crusty toast or wrapped in flay bread. It’s the tastiest sandwich I’ve had in a long time and can be put together easily in a whim with the ingredients you probably already have at home.
