    This Aguacate Relleno de Atún (Tuna Stuffed Avocado) recipe is very easy to make and a fantastic lunch, appetizer or summer dinner. The avocados are cut in halves and stuffed with tuna, peas, carrots, tomato, parsley, cilantro, mayo, hot sauce and ketchup.

    One of my favorite ways to eat this dish is part of an entire meal, actually placing the stuffed avocado on top of another salad made with lettuce, cucumber and tomato.

    I wish you all good food and fun this first weekend of summer. Buen provecho!
