Description

Make a healthy meal for lunch or dinner with these wonderful avocados stuffed with tuna salad. They are so delicious you'll wonder why you didn't make them sooner.

Ingredients

• 4 avocados, halved and pitted
• 3 (4.5 oz.) cans tuna, drained (solid albacore tuna packed in olive oil tastes best)
• 1 red bell pepper, diced (or chopped tomatoes)
• 1 jalapeno, minced (or green chilies)
• 1 c. cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, optional
• freshly squeezed juice of 1 lime
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Wash and dry avocados. Wash bell pepper; cut off top and discard; remove and discard seeds and membranes; dice. Rinse cilantro; drain; chop.
2. Cut avocados in halves across; remove and discard pits; scoop out some avocado from the pitted area to make a bigger "bowl" area. Place the scooped out avocado into a medium-sized mixing bowl and mash it with a fork.
3. Drain tuna; chop into smaller pieces; add tuna, diced bell pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro to the bowl; stir. Pour lime juice over the mixture; stir until everything is well mixed.
