INGREDIENTS
2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, well drained
1 ripe avocado, mashed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
8 large romaine lettuce leaves, salt and pepper
Smart Swap
Tuna Upgrade: Use wild-caught albacore tuna in water for the highest omega-3 content and lowest mercury levels.
Wrap Options: Butter lettuce or endive leaves also work great as cups if romaine is unavailable.
INSTRUCTIONS
Drain and Mix
Drain tuna well and place in a mixing bowl. Add mashed avocado and lemon juice. Mix until combined but still slightly chunky.
Season
Add finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro or parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
Assemble
Lay out large crisp romaine lettuce leaves as cups. Spoon tuna avocado mixture evenly into each lettuce cup.
Serve
Serve immediately for the best texture. The tuna filling can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Why this Recipe Works
Tuna has zero carbohydrates and zero glycemic impact — it literally cannot raise your blood sugar.
Avocado monounsaturated fat actively improves insulin sensitivity with regular consumption.
Romaine lettuce wraps replace bread, removing 25-30g of carbs vs a traditional sandwich.
No cooking required — ready in 10 minutes with zero equipment beyond a bowl and a fork.
