I’m excited to share some of my favorite ways to eat tuna packets. Below are 5 super easy tuna packet recipes and inspiration for mealtime.
Tuna Packet Recipes
StarKist Tuna Taco
This one is my 8-year old’s favorites for lunchtime. Simply place a slice of cheese onto a soft taco shell. Top with some shredded lettuce, and the contents of a StarKist Kid’s Tuna Creations Bacon Ranch Pouch. Delish!
Macaroni Salad topped with StarKist Tuna Creations Lemon Pepper
If you’ve wondered how to eat tuna packets for lunch? I love this lemon pepper tuna packet recipe for a quick lunch. You can use store bought macaroni salad or even potato salad. This lemony macaroni salad recipe of mine is really good with the Lemon Pepper Tuna too. YUM.
StarKist Tuna Packet Snack Attack
Grab some crackers and a StarKist Tuna or Salmon Pouch when you’re having a snack attack and need something quick.
Mediterranean Tuna and Pasta Salad
Want a fab Mediterranean inspired lunch? Whip up a simple pasta salad and add a StarKist Gourmet Selects Mediterranean Style Tuna. This pouch is one of my absolute favorites. It has olive oil and sun dried tomatoes that you will love. And, this pasta salad is one of my favorite tuna packet recipes.
Thai Inspired Tuna Wrap
If you’re still not sure how to eat tuna packets, simply make a wrap. The StarKist Tuna Creations Thai Chili Style pouch is one of the bold and spicy varieties, and it is oh-so tasty. I made this for my son and I for lunch recently, and he went nuts for it. He likes things a little more spicy than I do, so I added a little siracha sauce to his.
I used a Thai Salad Kit to make this, but any shredded lettuce variety and a little diced tomato will work just fine. Place some salad greens down the center of the wrap, add a pouch of the Thai Chili Style Tuna and a little siracha sauce if you like it more spicy. Wrap it up and enjoy! So easy.
Tear. Eat. Go. Of course you can always enjoy StarKist Tuna or Salmon right out of the pouch. Just grab a fork! StarKist Tuna and Salmon Pouches offer delicious & nutritious meal solutions to fit your busy lifestyle.
They are available in 21 varieties, including 13 deliciously seasoned Tuna & Salmon Creations, tuna & salmon in water or oil, as well as low sodium options. You’ll be glad to know that they feature at least 13+g of lean protein and 110 calories or less* per pouch to keep you fueled. The single serve pouches require no can opener and no draining making them perfect for lunch on-the-go.

I love your easy and healthy ideas for seafood pouches. So easy to make too which is also a plus!
I love these ideas. We go through quite a bit of tuna in our house lately and I’m always looking for different ways to change it up.
I’ve seen the pouches but haven’t tried them. I want the tuna taco.
They all look so yummy, I have to buy some of these.
This looks so good! I love starkist tuna!
I love these pouches for lunch, they’re so fast and easy, and healthy. I like your suggestion!
I love making sandwiches with them!
Thanks for the great ideas as I just bought a few of these pouches last week at the grocery store and wasn’t sure whether I would eat plain or make something with it.
These are nice ideas! I haven’t tuna or salmon in a pouch yet. It sounds so good I want to try it!
