Ingredients
For the Avocado Tuna Cakes:
- 1 avocado peeled and pitted, medium, ripe
- 10 ounces albacore tuna drained (look for wild caught, solid white, in water
- ¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs seasoned
- ¼ cup onion red, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce plus additional to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg large
Optional, for Serving:
- whole wheat hamburger buns toasted whole wheat bread, or a bed of mixed greens
- avocado cheese, plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, cilantro, salsa, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly mash the avocado. Add the tuna, bread crumbs, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are fairly well combined. (It's ok if the mixture is a little clumpy.)
- Form into 6 patties, then arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then continue baking until the outsides are lightly crisp and the cakes are cooked through, about 10 additional minutes. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat the tuna cakes in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
- If you'd like to make the recipe gluten free, use gluten-free bread crumbs. You could also swap ground gluten-free rolled oats. (I haven't tried either, but I think both would work nicely.)
