Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe avocados peeled and halved
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cans tuna meat drained
- ½ cup red onions chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley divided
Instructions
- Preheat broiler.
- Add four avocado halves in a bowl and mash with a fork.
- Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, tuna, red onions, crushed red pepper and mix to combine well.
- Spoon the avocado mixture into avocado halves.
- Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Broil from heat for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can use tuna packed in oil or water. Just make sure to fully drain it.
- Make sure you chop everything finely so they all fit into the avocado.
- I like using full-fat mayo but you can use light mayo as well.
- To store: I don't recommend storing this for long as the avocados will brown. Store for up to a day in the fridge in an airtight container.
