The first thing you need to do for the recipe is to get your ingredients ready. To do this you’re going to need 2 bowls.
Add into your first bowl 1 can of drained & rinsed dark red kidney beans and 1 can of drained & rinsed black beans. Put those off to the side.
In your other bowl add 6 cans of drained tuna and put that bowl off the side.

Take out a large stovetop pan or pot, turn your burner on medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of canola oil into it.
Once it heats up add in 2 bags of frozen stir fry vegetables. If you don’t like frozen vegetables you can chop up some green bell peppers, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, and white onion.
You can also change the flavor(s) of this recipe up by using other vegetables, spices, herbs, and so on. Think outside the box and don’t be scared to try new things! Let us know your favorite things to add into this Sriracha tuna chili in the comments below.

Hey!
I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while now, but am SOOOOOO happy that I checked out your website and YouTube channel. I’ve been focusing on my weight loss journey for about 2 years now and have had coaches that gave me meal plans that I just hated. I’ve now been with a fantastic coach for the past year and we do macros. Your recipes are amazing because they can fit in my macros and are absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!
I’m going to be entering my first bikini competition this summer and I’m so happy I have your guidance and recipes to keep me motivated and happy 🙂 🙂
Thanks Again!
That’s awesome Jermaine! Keep it up and definitely let me know how you do in your first bikini competition, I’m sure you’ll kill it (while eating great tasting food)!
Greetings from Sweden.
Great site and very good recipes. What do you think about eating this cold. It is not always that I can warm food at my job.
