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.
Another viral recipe from Tiktok You Should try is for Baked Oats No Banana or the Tiktok Ramen with Brown Sugar and Soy Sauce.
