TOTAL TIME: 20 min

2 SERVING

Ingredients:

2 ea. Avocados diced
1 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
1 Can Tuna (albacore or yellowtail) in water, drained
1 tsp. Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Cilantro, fresh, chopped
2 tbsp. Lime juice (divided, one for the avocado diced, and one for the tuna mix)
1/3 cup Red onion, small dice
1 ea. Jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced (can use 2 if want to make it slightly spicier)
1 tsp. Garlic powder
Salt to taste on each mixture (tomato mix, avocado mix, tuna mix)

Directions:

Drain water from the can of tuna. In a bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, 1 tbsp cilantro, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Add salt to taste.

Place diced avocado in a bowl and add 1 tbsp of lime juice, leaving some chunks. Add salt to taste.

Prepare tomato mixture: In a separate bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, a pinch of salt to taste, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Starting on 1 plate of the 2 servings plates (will repeat the same steps for 2nd plate) make a layer with the diced avocado, using a hamburger mold to keep the round shape of the stack. Then layer half of the tuna mixture on top of the avocado. Top with a fresh layer of the tomato mixture (pico de gallo).
