Ingredients
1 can tuna packed in olive oil
1 large ripe avocado
1/4 cup very finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 tsp. olive oil
1 T Mayo
1 – 2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
additional lime for serving, if desired
Directions
Drain one can of tuna into a colander placed in the sink and gently break the tuna apart with a fork. Finely chop red onion and cilantro. Cut avocado in half. Scrape out most of the avocado, leaving a tiny bit next to the skin to keep the shape of the avocado. Put avocado you removed into a large, flat bowl where you’ll be able to easily mash avocado. Use a large fork to thoroughly mash the avocado. Then mix the olive oil, mayo, lime juice, salt, and pepper into the mashed avocado. Mix the drained tuna into the avocado mixture. Then gently stir in the chopped cilantro and red onion. Season mixture to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper. Stuff the mixture into the avocado halves and devour!Serve with a generous wedge of lime to squeeze on at the table if desired.
