Avocado Tuna Melt Bites are a delicious and nutritious snack or appetizer that combines the creamy texture of avocado with the savory flavors of tuna and parmesan cheese. This simple yet satisfying recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a gathering or looking for a quick and healthy bite. Let's dive into the steps to create these tasty bites.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained canned tuna and mayonnaise salad dressing. Mix well until the tuna is evenly coated and creamy.
2. Mash the Avocado
- In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the mashed avocado to the tuna mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive mixture.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized patties. You should be able to make approximately 12-15 patties, depending on the size.
- In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each patty for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the avocado tuna melt bites warm, as a delightful appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your avocado is ripe but firm for the best texture and flavor.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños.
- You can substitute mayonnaise salad dressing with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Use an ice cream scoop or small cookie scoop for evenly sized bites.
- Place the bites on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
And there you have it, a plate of delightful Avocado Tuna Melt Bites. These bites are not only healthy but also packed with flavor, from the creamy avocado to the savory tuna and cheese. They make for a great snack or appetizer that will surely impress your friends and family. Enjoy your creation!
