Tuna is one of my favorite sources of protein, since it is so quick and easy to make. I recently made these tasty Tuna Stuffed Zucchini Boats, which are perfect for a lunch or quick dinner.
This time of year I always have more zucchini than I know what to do with! So I like to experiment with new and different ways to serve it. I used Bumble Bee Prime Fillet Albacore Tuna with Jalapenos & Olive Oil to make the Stuffed Zucchini Boats. The Prime Fillet Albacore Tuna combines the highest quality albacore tuna with the finest, restaurant-inspired ingredients. It is convenient and nutritious, and is available in 2.5oz pouches or 5oz cans.
Since the tuna comes already seasoned I only needed a few ingredients to complete the recipe. I mixed the tuna with the zucchini flesh, some red onion and topped it off with cheddar cheese. Those simple additions were all that was needed to make a spicy Mexican inspired dish.
