Easy Steps to Build Your Taco Tubs

1. Dice the tuna, season with salt and paprika, and set aside.

2. Mix tomato, avocado, chopped onion, coriander and shallots in a bowl. Dress with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

3. Heat coconut oil in a pan and lightly stir-fry sliced onion, capsicum and tuna until just cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then season to taste.

4. Spoon the mixture into crisp lettuce cups.

5. Top with the fresh salsa and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon.

Why Tuna and Avocado Make a Winning Pair

Tuna is a lean source of protein that helps keep meals satisfying without feeling heavy. Avocado adds a creamy texture and a source of natural healthy fats, which can help balance the fresh crunch of the vegetables. Together, they make this dish both nourishing and flavourful, perfect for a wholesome lunch or light dinner.

Make It Your Own

Enjoy these taco tubs as a fun, hands-on meal to share with family or friends. You can also swap the tuna for salmon, prawns, tofu or another firm white fish for variety. Sprinkle with extra herbs or a touch of chilli if you enjoy a little more heat.
