Recipe: Tuna-Avocado Wrap

I’ve got a fast & easy lunch recipe for you today. And you don’t even need a fridge to keep it cool!

It contains just three ingredients: a pouch of tuna, some avocado, and a wrap.

You obviously could add more ingredients if you want: sliced tomatoes, butter lettuce leaves, or anything else that strikes your fancy.

But it’s tasty just the way it is.

Makes 1 serving.

Ingredients:

• 2.6 oz (74 g) pouch of wild-caught tuna

• ½ an avocado, pitted

• 1 whole grain wrap

Directions:

1. Drain the tuna and spread it over the wrap. 

2. Mash the avocado and spoon it over the tuna, and wrap up the wrap. Voila! It’s time to eat.

Doesn’t get any easier than that. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Recipe: Easy Tuna Croquettes

Here’s a quick weeknight throw-together recipe that screams comfort food!

Ingredients:

• 7-ounce pouch tuna, drained and shredded

• ½ yellow onion, minced

• 2 tsp organic mustard

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• ½ tsp sea salt

• Freshly ground black pepper

• ¾ cup almond flour (or meal), divided

• 1 tsp dill

• 2-3 tbsp avocado oil

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, add tuna, onion, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, and lace the tuna, onions, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper and ¼ cup of almond flour. Stir to combine.

2. Divide into 8 patties and place on a lined plate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

3. Combine the rest of the almond meal with dill, and place the mixture on another plate. Take each patty and coat it with the mixture, returning to its original plate.

4. Heat enough oil to cook the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.

5. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
