Tuna's good for you. It wont' kill you, or give you mercury poisoning. However, I can't stand the taste of seafood and too many college nights of coming home and with nothing else to mix it with (not even mayonnaise for the poor man's tuna salad), i have a hard time eating it. But, dumping it into other things is pretty good, and cheap.
As always, the nutritional profile isn't the best, but coming home after class at 10 or 11, this is easy to make and easy to use to drop off before you go to bed.
I hesitate to call them recipes, since you just toss the tuna into either one of those 8 oz. trays of Trader Joe's Avocado's Number Guacamole (much more cost-effective in terms of how many avocados you get for your $3) or mix it into an omelete with four eggs (I use extra large, just because that's what my grocery store carries cheap). Toss whatever toppings you want on them and you've got a lot of protein coming your way.
Total cost works out to about $3 for the guacamole version and $1.50 for the egg version. I highly recommend not using Aldi tuna, unless you like your tuna inexplicably crunchy.
