Tuna Stuffed Avocado

• •  1-5 oz. can tuna
  •  1 large ripe avocado
  •  2 tablespoon very finely chopped red onion
  •  1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  •  2 teaspoon olive oil
  •  1 tablespoon mayo
  •  1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lime juice (more or less to taste, see notes)
  •  sea salt (or salt) and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  •  additional lime for serving, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drain one can of tuna into a colander placed in the sink and gently break the tuna apart with a fork.
2. Finely chop red onion and cilantro. (You can use green onion instead of red onion if you prefer, especially if you are not using cilantro.)
3. Cut avocado in half.
4. Scrape out most of the avocado, leaving a tiny bit next to the skin to keep the shape of the avocado. Put avocado you removed into a large, flat bowl where you’ll be able to easily mash avocado.
5. Use a large fork to thoroughly mash the avocado.
6. Then mix the olive oil, mayo, lime juice, salt, and pepper into the mashed avocado.
7. Mix the drained tuna into the avocado mixture.
8. Then gently stir in the chopped cilantro and red onion.
9. Season mixture to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
10. Stuff the mixture into the avocado halves and devour!
11. Serve with a generous wedge of lime to squeeze on at the table if desired.
