Tuna Stuffed Avocados: FTW

It is Spring Break and we are having some painting done to the house (yay!) which means we are living in bedrooms and the kitchen. The combination of these two things means that I sought out super-easy and fast dinner options for this week. This one is a keeper, for sure. Not a huge stray from your traditional tuna salad construct but so much more tasty and healthy.

I ended up mashing the whole avocado into the tuna and serving it in romaine lettuce leaf "cups". I also doubled the tuna so we would each have an appropriate protein and calorie serving. Finally, I charred the jalapeño. Not sure I would do that again, though, as I think the meal could have used that little bit of heat that the roasted jalapeño doesn't offer.

Don't like tuna? Still try this out, just use some shredded chicken or cubed or crumbled tofu as an alternative protein. I love to shred chicken in the Instant Pot but the convenience of canned chicken for something like this would be equally as appealing. If you do use tuna, be sure to buy the solid kind that is packed in water. That will give you the best texture and most healthy option.
