Notes
a) Bread - Here I've used some Artisan bread rolls, which work well because they're fairly firm and toast up nicely. Ciabatta also works well, as do regular burger buns. To toast the bread just place in a scorching hot griddle pan or place under the grill and broil until crispy.
b) Doritos - I like using Chilli Heatwave Doritos for an extra kick of spice, but in reality you can use any type of Tortilla Chip! These add a nice crunch to the sandwich, which counteracts the very soft filling. If you get freaked out by crisps/chips in your sandwich just serve them alongside!
c) Sriracha/Spiciness - These sandwiches have a gentle kick of spice, nothing overbearing at all. If you don't have or like sriracha you can sub a different hot sauce, just be aware of the spice level. Some hot sauces are much spicier than others!
d) Can I make these ahead of time? - I wouldn't make the whole sandwich ahead of time, but you can make the tuna ahead of time if you wanted. Just tightly store in the fridge for a couple of days. Bring to room temp and give it a good stir before you use it as it'll likely be a little watery.
