- Mix until well combined and set your omelette filling aside.
- In the same non-stick pan as your cooked vegetables, heat it on medium and add oil.

Notes
The trick to a delicious tuna omelette lies in the filling. When you mix all the ingredients together, it’s important to have the mayonnaise-to-tuna ratio right. Too much mayonnaise and it becomes heavy and the flavors won’t come together.
Be sure to lightly cook the omelette before putting the filling in because the tuna will also need to heat up in the middle.
If you are not a fan of mayonnaise with your tuna, lime juice will help freshen the tuna and work to enhance the flavors.
