Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 can 5 oz tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley chopped
- 1 small jalapeño minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop into a bowl. Gently mash, leaving some chunks.
- Add drained tuna to the bowl, breaking it up slightly but keeping it flaky.
- Stir in red onion, cilantro (or parsley), optional jalapeño, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Gently fold all ingredients to combine, preserving texture.
- Serve on toast, in lettuce cups, or as a dip. Garnish with extra herbs or lime if desired.
Notes:
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice to prevent browning and brighten flavor.
- For a gourmet twist, use leftover grilled or seared tuna instead of canned.
- Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to minimize avocado browning.
