Perfect for lunch, light dinner, or post-gym refuel.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the tuna salad

• 1 (5 oz) can tuna (in olive oil or water), drained
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayo (or a mix)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
• 1–2 tsp hot sauce or sriracha (adjust to taste)
• 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion or scallion
• 2 tbsp diced celery or cucumber
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the avocados

• 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
• Lime wedges (for serving)
• Optional toppings: chili flakes, everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, microgreens

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Tuna Salad

In a bowl, mix tuna with yogurt or mayo, mustard, citrus juice, hot sauce, onion, celery, herbs, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust acidity or heat to preference.

Step 2: Prep the Avocados

Halve avocados and remove pits. Scoop out a small amount of flesh to make a shallow well if needed (optional: mash that into the tuna salad).

Step 3: Stuff and Finish

Spoon tuna salad into each avocado half, rounding slightly over the top. Garnish with chili flakes, herbs, or seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Flavor Variations

• Add diced pickles, capers, or olives for briny bite
• Use chipotle in adobo for smoky heat
• Add diced mango or pineapple for sweet contrast
• Swap tuna for canned salmon or chopped shrimp
• Top with a poached egg for brunch vibes

Pro Tips

• Use just-ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure but aren’t mushy
• Oil-packed tuna = richer flavor; water-packed = lighter
• Want extra crunch? Add toasted nuts or crushed pita chips on top
• Chill the tuna mix for 30 minutes if making ahead — flavor deepens
• Leftover tuna salad? Makes a killer wrap or sandwich filling

Final Thoughts

Tuna Stuffed Avocados are fast, fresh, and ridiculously satisfying — creamy, spicy, and loaded with texture in every chilled bite. It’s everything you want from a clean, filling meal with zero compromise on flavor.

Scoop it. Stuff it. Squeeze the lime. 🥑🐟🌶️🔥
