📝 Ingredients

2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in olive oil, drained
1 ripe avocado, diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely minced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Celery sticks or cucumber slices for serving (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, gently flake the drained tuna with a fork until mostly broken up.
2
Add the diced avocado, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño (if using) to the bowl with the tuna.
3
Drizzle the mixture with fresh lime juice, then season with salt and black pepper.
4
Gently stir all ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the avocado chunky.
5
Spoon the tuna mixture into four individual airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator.
6
Serve chilled, optionally with celery sticks or cucumber slices for scooping.

💡 Notes

For best results, consume within 3-4 days. A little extra lime juice on top can help prevent avocado browning. Adjust spice level by adding more or less jalapeño.
