Because it's one of our favorite healthy convenience foods for a quick lunch (or dinner), we've taken canned tuna -- high in protein and Omega-3s -- beyond the classic mayo-laced sandwich salad. Here, rich avocado is swapped in for an easy salad that takes canned tuna to the next level.

Ingredients

One 5-ounce can tuna, such as Wild Planet

1 ripe avocado, chopped

1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder, or to taste

Juice of 1 small lime

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 soft corn tortillas, toasted in a dry hot skillet

Pickled jalapeno or fresh jalapeno, sliced crosswise, for topping

2 pitted black olives, sliced 

1 tomato, chopped 

1 tablespoon chopped scallions

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss together the tuna, avocado, chile powder and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Place each toasted corn tortilla on a plate and top with half of the tuna salad. Top each with jalapenos and half of the olives, tomato and scallions.
