📝 Ingredients

2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in olive oil or water, drained
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large lettuce cups (butter lettuce or romaine)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, gently flake the drained tuna with a fork.
2
Add the diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro to the bowl.
3
Drizzle with fresh lime juice, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much, aiming for a chunky texture.
5
Spoon the tuna and avocado mixture evenly into each of the four lettuce cups. Serve immediately for best freshness.

💡 Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the tuna mixture. These cups are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days; the avocado may brown slightly but will still be delicious.
