Fishcakes, but not just any fishcakes. Chili Lime Tuna Fishcakes with a pretty awesome and unique ingredient. Chili Lime Almond CrrrunchBites! You know how much I love Mozaics popped chips; well they came out with a new fun snack that basically is a Mozaic chip wrapped around an almond. Whole roasted almonds wrapped in a crunchy rice cracker shell, is how they describe it. Sounds odd, sounds interesting, but let me tell you, they are DELICIOUS!

I was tasked with whipping them up into a fun recipe to get y’all thinking outside the box in terms of snacking. CrrrunchBites are great for an on the go, flavorful snack, but why not use them in a meal too? They come in Sea Salt, Ranch, BBQ, Chili Lime, and Honey Mustard and Nacho (both of these are not vegan). There are so many flavored almonds out there, but no company has ever made a flavored almond that becomes a snackable “chip” as well. I thought it was pretty innovative to have it “all in one”.

Crushing them up and using them as some sort of filler sounded like a good option. Low and behold, we have Chili Lime Tuna Fishcakes! A delectable combo of plain jane tuna fish, corn, green chilies, cilantro, spices, and those chili lime almonds! No breadcrumbs needed in these fishcakes! Totally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and no oil required for these! Basically a tuna patty, whipped up in the food processor and baked in the oven. They far beat my expectations!

Making a fishcake, even a fish burger, had always been on my list to cook up and I’m surprised it took me so long! So easy, especially if you use a canned fish that’s already cooked and doesn’t need chopping up. Fishcakes are a great way to get anyone to add in some more fish to their diet in a fun and flavorful way that’s not “overly fishy”. You could totally serve these as burgers, but we kept them as cakes, eaten with a fork. Easy to make-ahead and freeze too as a quick go-to option on a busy day!

So many textures, tender & flakey fish, tangy lime, zesty & spicy chili, protein-packed & satisfying, with the power of not only omega-3s, but the healthy fats from the almonds as well! Winner, winner fish dinner? I think so! The only problem you may have is trying NOT to eat all the CrrrunchBites before you get them in these tuna fishcakes! Try to tame yourself…they are addicting!

    I make a tuna cake quite regularly, but never thought to add corn or chiles to it! And I’ve definitely never added almonds either…what great twists. I’ll have to give your recipe a try

    Yum! These look so good! I made some fishcakes a few years ago and loved them. I lost that recipe so I haven’t made them since so I’ll have to try yours now!

    Oh my gosh! That sounds so awesome! Chili Lime anything grabs my attention! And using canned tuna is super frugal which is right up my alley! Such a great idea!
