Avocado Tuna Wrap

I love the internet.  She’s so useful!  Yes, she. The internet is obviously a girl, duh. The other day I was searching the kitchen for something to eat.  I’m trying to eat at home more, but I’m terrible at planning my meals and I haven’t had a big grocery trip lately.  I found a pack of tuna and thought, ok, I can do something with this, but I don’t want to use mayo.  Hmm, I still had 1/2 an avocado from the day before, maybe i can use that?  This is where the Internet was oh so helpful. I figured someone had to have made tuna salad with avocado before, so I did a quick search to find some ideas.

The result of my searching is below and trust me blogland, it was DELICIOUS!

1 pack of tuna (2.6 oz)
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
Chopped onion
Splash of lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mash avocado & mix with Greek yogurt until well mixed. Mix in onions & lemon juice. Once you have it all mixed well, add the tuna.

Thats it!  Now, eat up!  You can eat it by itself, eat it with crackers, eat it on a wrap, eat it on bread…any way you like it!  I ate the whole wrap, but it’s so filling I would have been happy to eat half with a cup of soup or with veggies or fruit. Lettuce & tomato would have completed this sandwich nicely, but alas, my fridge had neither.

Go to lunch…Black Bean Salad

I’m all about the quick meals.  For two reasons mainly…I usually don’t start thinking about what to eat until I get hungry and I hate making a big mess that I’m going to have to clean up later.  One of my absolute favorite lunches (or dinners) is a black bean salad.  It’s super simple and tastes great!

Ingredients:

1/2-3/4 cup of black beans (drained & rinsed)

8-10 grape tomatoes

chopped onion

avocado (optional)

EVOO

Balsamic vinegar

lime juice

salt

Throw the first 4 ingredients together, drizzle a tiny bit of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar and several splashes of lime juice.  Then salt to taste.

It’s seriously, that simple!  I LOVE it!  The tang of the lime juice gets balanced out by the balsamic vinegar, but by adding a splash or two more of lime juice, you get a nice citrus-y taste that isn’t too tangy.
