Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup roasted pimentos (diced)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
- for serving sturdy scooper-style chips
Instructions
In a medium bowl, add the drained canned tuna and use a fork to flake it into small pieces.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Mash the avocado with the fork until it's creamy, but leave some chunks for texture.
Add the diced roasted pimentos, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until the dip is fully combined and smooth with small chunks of avocado and tuna.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
If using, fold in the chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and pair with scooper-style chips for dipping.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to let the flavors meld before serving.
