Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 medium mangoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons chopped red onions
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 ounces solid white tuna packed in water, drained
2 large avocados, halved and pitted
lemon wedge

Steps:

In a medium bowl, stir together mangoes, onion, cilantro, oil, cumin, salt and cayenne. Add tuna; stir gently to break up slightly. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours, if desired.
Right before serving, spoon about 1/2 cup tuna mixture into the center of each avocado half; garnish with a lemon wedge.

Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that are slightly soft and yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
Scoop out the avocado flesh carefully: Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the avocado flesh, leaving the skin intact. Be careful not to puncture the skin.
Mash the avocado flesh with a fork: Use a fork to mash the avocado flesh until it is smooth and creamy. Season the mashed avocado with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
Prepare the tuna filling: Combine the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and parsley in a bowl. Season the tuna filling with salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the avocados: Spoon the tuna filling into the avocado shells. Top with any additional desired toppings, such as crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or diced tomatoes.
Serve immediately: Tuna stuffed avocados are best served immediately. However, you can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Tuna stuffed avocados are a delicious and healthy appetizer, snack, or light lunch. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
