¼cupcrumbled Queso Frescoor cheese of your choice (optional)
Instructions
Place all of the dressing ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Cut each avocado in half, lengthwise, and remove the pit.
Mix the tuna, bell pepper, green onions and dressing in a bowl.
Fill each avocado half with tuna mixture and sprinkle with cheese, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you have time, the tuna salad tastes even better after it has been chilling in the fridge for a while.
Place any unused portions of tuna salad in the refrigerator until needed. You can fill your avocados as needed if not eating all four servings at once.
Any cheese including sharp cheddar, Cojito, or Pepper-Jack would be delicious as well.
Don’t have tuna, substitute cooked shrimp or chicken.
I usually make a double batch of the cilantro lime dressing so I have extra for salads, a dipping sauce or extra avocado cups.
