Bell Pepper Substitute for Tuna Stuffed Avocado:
The red bell pepper in this recipe can easily be replaced with tomatoes. You can even add diced tomatoes, halved, or quartered cherry tomatoes to the recipe as an addition.
Spice Level:
You can leave out the jalapeño if you want to control the level of heat in this recipe. Jalapeños vary in how spicy they can be, so you never really know what you’re going to get. If you want to retain some heat, but just need something with less heat, try a less spicy pepper, like a poblano pepper. For even more heat, try a hotter pepper like a habañero.
Tuna Options:
There are generally two kinds of tuna that you can purchase in the canned goods section at your supermarket: Solid white albacore and skipjack/light tuna. Solid white albacore is more expensive and has a much less “fishy” taste. It has three times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, it also has three times the amount of mercury, so keep an eye on your total consumption.
Storage Instructions:
Tuna Stuffed Avocados are best served fresh. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days, but know that your avocado will brown from oxidation. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in some of these other stuffed avocado recipes:
