Notes
- This recipe requires no cooking and is best served fresh to enjoy the creamy texture of avocado.
- You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sriracha to suit your taste preferences.
- For a lighter version, switch mayo with Greek yogurt.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Oil-packed tuna adds richness, but water-packed can be used for a leaner option.
- Chopped cilantro can be substituted for chives if desired.
