CAN YOU USE CANNED Tuna IN THIS RECIPE?

Of course you can use canned tuna instead of pouches, I know that many of us are really struggling to find the cuts of meat we preferred in our pre-CoronaVirus times, and we gotta do what we gotta do! You can use canned tuna. I just had pouches on hand because all of the stores had run out of canned tuna when I did my supplies trip shopping in early March! Yes, it hit us that quickly, crazy, right?
