Tuna Stuffed Bell Peppers

Hi everyone! Today I am posting something I like to make when I am in a hurry and don’t wanna spend too much time in a kitchen. As a college student, I buy a LOT of tuna! However, if you’re tryna to avoid carbs or gluten, its difficult finding creative ways to eat it. You can also start to get sick of the taste, no matter what way you’re eating it. Sooooooo

Today I’m going to share my favorite tuna recipe!

p.s. I’ve been minding all of your feedback and will be adding more photos per step. Let me know if it’s better/worse!

You will need:

• A small bowl
• A cutting board
• A pairing knife
• A fork or spoon
• 1/2 a small tomato, chopped
• 1 slice of onion, chopped
• 1/4 to 1/2 a dill pickle (up to you), chopped
• 1/2 an avocado
• Black beans
• Salt and Pepper
• 1/2 to 3/4 of a medium sized bell pepper, cut as pictured below

Instructions:

**Your bell pepper: I cored mine with the pairing knife and left about 3/4 of it. If you wanna cut it in halves and eat two, feel free! It all depends on how hungry you are! I made the tuna recipe in a generous quantity, so that you can fill both halves of your bell pepper. 

1. Add your tuna, tomato, onion, and pickles into the mixing bowl, and stir it up until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Cut your avocado like this

then slide it into your mixture. 

3. Add black beans. This quantity is up to you. I start with a little and add more if I feel like its not enough. I normally add around this much. 

4. Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed. The avocado is going to act as your “mayonnaise” and give it some moisture, so don’t worry about this recipe leaving your tuna dry. 

5. Coat the top with pepper and add a pinch of salt. As I’ve mentioned before in previous posts, I’m not very big on salt, but if you taste it and decide to add more, its completely up to you!

6. Mix until evenly distributed, then stuff your bell pepper. If you want you can try and be fancy like me and add some parsley to make it look cool, and plate it with fruit around it. 

Hope you all enjoy!
