red onion

🥗Healthier: green onion

White onion is often less expensive and still adds flavor.

Scoop out a small portion of 1 avocado from the center of each half to enlarge the cavity. Transfer the removed avocado to a medium mixing bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth.

Add 1 (5 ounce can) solid white albacore tuna (drained), ¼ cup diced red bell pepper, 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Stir until well combined.

Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the avocado halves, spooning it into the hollowed centers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
