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.
