Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) sushi-grade tuna, drained

1 ripe avocado, diced

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon lime juice

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 small lettuce leaves (butter or romaine) for serving

Optional: 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced avocado, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and chopped green onions. Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

    Season: Taste the mixture and season with salt, pepper, and additional sriracha if you desire more heat. Stir well to combine.

      Assemble the Cups: Take the lettuce leaves and lay them on a serving platter. Spoon generous amounts of the spicy tuna avocado mixture into each lettuce leaf.

        Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tuna salad cups for an added crunch. If using, place thin cucumber slices on top for extra freshness.

          Serve: Arrange the cups on a serving dish, and enjoy immediately!
