These patties are a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two of tuna in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it for.

I made these patties in the air fryer and they turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I actually really enjoyed these patties. The chickpeas and mayonnaise help to balance out the flavor of the tuna.

These patties were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that was because I didn't use enough mayonnaise. Next time I'll add an extra tablespoon or two.
