Ingredients
- 5 oz canned wild albacore tuna (in water)
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- ½ jalapeño pepper diced small
- ½ medium Hass avocado
- ½ lime
- ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Method
- Crack open a can of tuna, drain the liquid and dump the meat into a medium-sized bowl. Next, gently break up the meat with a fork.
- Finely slice the scallion (green onion) and mince the jalapeño pepper. Toss them in the bowl with the tuna.

- In a separate bowl, mash half an avocado with salt and pepper to taste, and the rest of the lime juice.
- Scoop up the mashed avocado and add it to the bowl of seasoned tuna. Stir to combine.
- Eat straight out of the bowl or wrap in lettuce leaves, toasted nori, or grain-free tortillas.
