    Usually, I’m not a fan of sandwiches for lunch but this TunaCado sandwich and the Grinder Sandwich that went crazy on Tiktok this year changed my mind. I was really impressed when I tried a tuna sandwich with pesto and this sandwich really impressed me. I’ll probably be making this tuna sandwich on repeat for the next couple of days. 

    If you struggle with trying to decide what to make for lunch this sandwich is super quick and easy to make. It’s high and protein and you get some healthy fat and fiber from the Avocado. 

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best method for toasting bread? There are different methods for toasting bread. Use your air fryer, toaster, or oven. Whatever kitchen appliance you like.

    What type of canned tuna is best? If you want to know what type of canned tuna is best look for Canned light tuna. It is a far better choice with lower-mercury choice, according to the FDA and EPA. Canned white and yellow fin tuna are higher in mercury, but still okay to eat.

    Ingredients Needed 

    • 2 slices of Sour Dough Bread - or whatever type of bread you have on hand
    • 2 cans or packets of Low Sodium Tuna - Some vidos on Tiktok show the tuna being whipped in a food processor until it’s nice and smooth. You do not have to do this. Just mix it in a bowl with some mayonnaise. 
    • 1 avocado sliced 
    • Tomato slices 
    • Homemade or Storebought Pesto - If you’re looking for a pesto recipe you can find one here. 

    How to Make a Tunacado Sandwich 

    Butter two slices of bread. Heat a non stick skillet to medium-high heat. Toast the bread on each side until it’s golden brown. 

    In a bowl mix together the tuna and mayonnaise until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Spread the pesto on one slice of bread and then the tuna mixture. Top the tuna with sliced avocados and tomatoes. 

    Enjoy! 

    What can I serve with Tuna Sandwiches? 

    There are many side dishes that can be served with tuna sandwiches. Here are a few ideas:

    1. Salad: A simple green salad with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber pairs well with a tuna sandwich. You can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or onions to the salad.
    2. Chips or crackers: Chips, such as potato chips or tortilla chips, or crackers, such as cheese crackers or crackers with seeds, can be served on the side of a tuna sandwich.
    3. Fruit: Fresh fruit, such as apples, grapes, or berries, can be a healthy and refreshing side dish to a tuna sandwich.
    4. Soup: A simple soup, such as tomato soup or minestrone, can be a comforting and filling side dish to a tuna sandwich.
    5. Fries - either deep fried or air fried
