A quick and flavorful spicy tuna salad stuffed into creamy ripe avocados, enhanced with a zesty sriracha mayo for a perfect light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5-ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained well
  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce (start with 1 teaspoon and add more if desired), and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.
  3. Finely dice celery and red onion, then add them to the tuna.
  4. Pour the spicy mayo mixture over the tuna and veggies. Add fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro or parsley if using, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well coated.
  5. Slice the ripe avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Optionally scoop out a bit more avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling.
  6. Spoon the tuna salad generously into each avocado half, filling the cavity without overflowing.
  7. Serve immediately to prevent browning, or sprinkle with extra lime juice. If prepping ahead, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Drain tuna well to avoid soggy salad. Adjust sriracha to taste for desired spice level. Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Serve immediately or refrigerate tuna salad separately to prevent avocado browning. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo and check sriracha ingredients. Optionally add diced jalapeños for extra heat.
