Steps to make the Tuna Meatloaf
Drain the canned tuna and put it in a bowl, add the egg and start mixing with a fork.
Now add the parmesan and breadcrumbs until you create an almost dry and malleable mixture. If necessary, add a little more breadcrumbs.
With oiled hands, shape it into a small sausage, and place it in a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cook in static oven at 350 °F for about 20 minutes,
or in a microwave with microwave and grill combination for 15 minutes.
Let it cool once cooked and slice it.
Open the avocado and scoop out the content. In a food processor, place all ingredients and blend well until creamy. You can also garnish it with cilantro.
Storage, Notes, and Tips
This is a very convenient dish to prepare in advance. We can freeze it raw and then cook it when needed.
Once cooked, it keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 or 5 days.
The avocado cream turns brown quickly, so I recommend consuming it immediately. If any is left, you can freeze it in a transparent bag and then use it to dress wraps or tortillas.
