Instructions

  1. Drain the tuna and flake it with a fork. Finely dice the bell pepper.
  2. Mash the avocado with lemon juice, then mix it with the tuna and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon the filling onto romaine lettuce leaves and eat them like little tacos.

For a meal on the go, pack the filling and lettuce leaves separately so the lettuce stays crisp.
