Preparing Spicy Tuna & Avocado Toast
Let’s break down how to assemble this flavor-packed toast. The process is simple and straightforward, ensuring a stress-free cooking experience. You will start by toasting your bread to a perfect golden brown. While that’s happening, you mash the avocado with lime juice—transforming it into a velvety spread. Simultaneously, you’ll mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise and sriracha, creating a spicy, creamy topping. Finally, bring it all together by layering the avocado and spicy tuna atop the toast.
What you’ll need
- 1 can of tuna (drained)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of bread (your choice, whole-grain or sourdough works well)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime juice (optional, but recommended for a zesty touch)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Feel free to swap the mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter version, or use gluten-free bread if dietary needs call for it!
