Keto Tuna Melt Cups: A Delicious Low-Carb Recipe!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 ounces) tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1/4 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 large avocado, halved and pitted
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, whole grain mustard, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Cut each avocado half into quarters and carefully scoop out a bit of the flesh to create a small cavity for the tuna filling.
- Arrange the avocado quarters on a baking tray. Drizzle them with avocado oil and lightly season with salt.
- Fill each avocado cup with the tuna mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure it’s well packed. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each filled avocado.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Once baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, sprinkle with fresh dill for an added touch of flavor.
Notes
- For an extra kick, mix in some chopped jalapeños with the tuna filling.
- You can also swap the tuna for shredded chicken for a delightful variation.
