Tuna Zucchini Boats on a baking tray with lime and sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cans chili-lime wild tuna
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 large zucchini
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • pinch cumin

For The Avocado Salsa:

  • 1 small avocado cubed
  • 1/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons red onion minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and rub a baking sheet with avocado oil.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the diced pepper until tender. Remove from heat and add the tuna (don't drain it!) and salsa to the pan and stir until well combined.
  • Trim the ends of the zucchini and then slice in half length-wise and scrape out the insides, leaving 1/2-inch shells. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • Divide the tuna filling between all the shells, really packing it in firmly and piling it up high so it all fits in.
  • Bake until the zucchini is just fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • While the zucchini bakes, combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Serve the salsa over the boats and enjoy.
