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.
