Avocado, a widely used ingredient in Latin American cuisine, can be used to accompany a pasta dish, as well as in sauces, creams, and appetizers like these stuffed avocados with tuna that I suggest you prepare today. In my case, I use natural tuna for the filling, but you can also use other types of cooked fish or even lobster, as they do in Cuba, where this is a traditional dish.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Wash the avocados, peel them, and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the pit.
Use a fork to gently pierce the flesh of the avocados and season with salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil to taste.
Flake the natural tuna and place it in a bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, and soy sauce to the tuna, mixing everything together until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Fill the avocado halves with the tuna mixture.
Garnish with chopped stuffed olives and strips of roasted red peppers.
Serve the stuffed avocados on individual plates over julienned lettuce leaves.
For a more vibrant presentation, use a mix of red and green lettuce leaves.
If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a dash of hot sauce to the tuna mixture.
To prevent the avocados from browning, sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice over them after cutting.
