Tuna Dip - Carlos & Charlies


We had this dip 28 years ago at the Carlos & Charlies Restaurant on Sunset Blvd. It is so good, and you don't know it is tuna. Because I don't like tuna, and I loved this. And you don't know it's cilantro, because Brian doesn't like cilantro, and he loved this. So... it's a mystery dip that tastes great, and is good for you!!

14 ounces canned tuna, undrained
6 ounces pickled jalapenos, undrained
onion, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
cilantro
tortilla chips

directions:

Mix tuna, jalapenos, and onion in food processor, adding mayonnaise to desired consistency. Garnish with cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.
