Being a bartender for 8 years, you’re around A LOT of food. The restaurants I worked in were mainly mid class restaurants, but the creativity I saw in the kitchen was under-appreciated. The thing I love most about cooking is taking recipes and mixing them up a bit. Normally tuna ceviche has avocado in it, but I figured lets fry that sucker and put the ceviche on top. That’s how Val and I got our Tuna Ceviche Stuffed Fried Avocado.

This recipe is delicious, but I love it with the sauce we created. The sauce adds that little extra kick that you want and doesn’t overpower the ceviche. Honestly the way we came up with it was by using what we had in the fridge and thinking about what would pair well with the ceviche. Val went to workout and was going to see if she could find a sauce while she was out. Instead, I decided to try and see what I could make. A couple renditions later, we have our “secret sauce”.

To me the Tuna Ceviche Stuffed Fried Avocado is the perfect spring/summertime meal. It’s light and healthy (even though its fried). The main thing I like to think about when I say something is healthy is, if there’s 1 unhealthy thing about it, you’re probably ok. Example, fried chicken wings. You’ve got the fried wing (bad thing) and then you’ve got the sauce on it which is mainly butter and hot sauce (bad thing). So that would fall in my not healthy category. It’s not a perfect system, but it works for me and I recently got a clean bill of health from my doctor so I’m sticking with it.

Well enough about me spouting off on what I consider to be healthy or not. We hope you enjoy this tuna ceviche stuffed fried avocado as much as we did.

As always, from our kitchen to yours, cheers!
