I'd recommend solid pack or chunk tuna for these recipes (except for those calling for sliced smoked tuna). Read the labels, and also keep an eye out for canned or vacuum-packed tuna on sale. Canned tuna, properly stored, will last for a year in your pantry. And you'll always have ingredients for an easy meal on hand!
