Fresh, light, and packed with nutrients. The creamy avocado balances the savory tuna, while the tomatoes add a juicy burst of flavor. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for a healthy snack or meal.
Directions
Cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Keep the skins aside for later. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl and give it a gentle mash with a fork. Add the tuna, chopped tomato, feta cheese, jalapeno, green onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until it’s well combined. Spoon the mixture back into the avocado skins. You can serve it right away or pop it in the fridge to chill for a bit before enjoying.
