Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, olive oil, hatch green chiles, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

    Cook the Base: If you haven’t done so already, cook your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. This will be the base of your bowl.

      Chop the Vegetables: Dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the red onion. Set them aside in a small bowl.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a layer of quinoa or rice at the bottom. Spoon the spicy tuna mixture over the grains.

          Add Fresh Veggies: Top the tuna with the diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion for a refreshing crunch.

            Finish with Avocado: Place a few slices of avocado on top of the bowl for creaminess, then garnish with fresh cilantro.

              Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the bowl for added zest and serve with lime wedges on the side.
