Low-Carb Tuna Poke Stuffed Avocados

Stuffed avocados are a keto staple because they are so quick and easy to prepare.

I love poke bowls, it’s probably my number one go-to when it comes to grabbing a quick low-carb meal out when I’m utterly sick of Chipotle. When I’m able to find sashimi grade tuna or salmon at the market I jump at the chance to make it at home as well.

For this keto recipe I thought it would be fun to make a Tuna Poke Stuffed Avocado! Just a few simple ingredients, quality fish, and 5 minutes is all you need to make this light lunch!

Heads up that these sashimi stuffed avocados don’t keep well so you’ll want to eat it immediately, somehow I don’t think that will be an issue.

Step-by-step

1. Cut the tuna into small cubes. In a small bowl mix together the tuna, tamari, sesame oil, chili paste (optional), green onions, and cucumber.

   

2. Halve the avocado and fill the center of both halves with the poke mixture. Top with seaweed.

   

3. Serve immediately.
