    Start by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pit. Carefully scoop out some of the flesh to create a small bowl, setting the flesh aside.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

    Chop the reserved avocado flesh and add it to the tuna mixture along with halved cherry tomatoes. Stir gently to incorporate.

    Spoon the tuna mixture back into the avocado halves until they're generously filled.

How to be creative
  • Substitute tuna with shredded chicken or black beans for a different protein source.
  • Add diced jalapeños for an extra kick of spice.
  • Top the stuffed avocado with crumbled queso fresco or feta for a creamy finish.
Important Tips
  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed for the best texture.
  • For added flavor, let the tuna mixture chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before stuffing the avocados.
  • Garnish with additional cilantro or a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
