Tuna, Avocado, and Mango Lettuce Wraps – An Easy and Healthy Canned Tuna Recipe

Inspiration: Inspired by the light and refreshing cuisine of coastal regions, these lettuce wraps are a delightful balance of creamy avocado, tangy mango, and hearty tuna. Perfect as a starter or a light main course, these wraps deliver a burst of tropical flavor in every bite.

Ingredient List:

• 2 cans of tuna in water, drained

• 1 ripe avocado, diced

• 1 ripe mango, diced

• 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1/2 red onion, finely diced

• 1 lime, zest and juice

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce, leaves separated

Preparation Steps:

1. In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced avocado, diced mango, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

3. Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently mix until well combined.

4. Place a spoonful of the tuna mixture onto a lettuce leaf, and fold the leaf over to form a wrap.

5. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and tuna mixture.

6. Serve the lettuce wraps immediately, while they're still fresh and crisp.

Drink Pairing: A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc, with its tropical fruit notes, would pair wonderfully with these wraps. For a non-alcoholic option, a pineapple-coconut water would complement the flavors perfectly.

Chef's Tips:

• You can add some heat to these wraps by adding a dash of hot sauce or some finely chopped jalapeno pepper to the tuna mixture.

• For a more filling meal, consider adding some cooked quinoa or brown rice to the tuna mixture.

• Use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves to ensure your wraps hold together well and provide a satisfying crunch.
