For an extra layer of flavor, toast the herbs lightly in a dry pan before mincing. Feel free to experiment with different types of hummus, such as roasted garlic or spicy chipotle, to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor, but be careful not to over-process it. This tuna filling is also delicious served in lettuce wraps or as a topping for crackers.
