Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt for extra creaminess
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pat them dry. Use a fork to prick several holes in each potato. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. For a faster version, you can microwave them for 7-10 minutes, though roasting provides a better flavor.
  2. While the potatoes are roasting, open the tuna cans and drain the liquid thoroughly. In a medium mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it is relatively smooth but still has a few small chunks for texture.
  3. Add the drained tuna, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to the bowl with the mashed avocado. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in the optional Greek yogurt. Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato down the center lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork. Generously stuff each potato with the tuna and avocado mixture. Top with extra cilantro or red pepper flakes if desired.
