    Wanna know something strange?

    I've never bought or even eaten a blood orange until now (or at least I don't remember ever having done so).

    And if you've never had a blood orange, let me tell you that you are surely missing out as I was!

    Tuna Wraps with Avocado and Blood Orange Salsa from Living Well Kitchen

    This week I happen to be celebrating avocados, so I thought it would be a great time to mix my new favorite citrus fruit with avocados which obviously make everything better.

    And since it's starting to heat up in New Orleans, I wanted a refreshing meal. So I made lettuce wraps of course!

    These are incredibly delicious and refreshing, the perfect warm-weather meal. Light but filling. Tasty but nourishing. You'll feel satisfied but not stuffed.

    Then you'll want to make them again & again and keep this salsa in your fridge at all times to eat with chips, over eggs, or by itself.

    This salsa is good.

    Also, if you are trying to get more seafood into your life, this is a great way to do so!

    Ingredients

    for the tuna:

    • 2 8 ounce fresh tuna filets {about 1 pound}
    • 2 tablespoon liquid aminos or soy sauce
    • 1 lime juiced
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil or coconut oil

    for the salsa:

    • 4-5 blood oranges peeled & chopped {about 1 cup}
    • 2 medium avocados chopped {about 2 cups}
    • 4 green onions chopped {about 3/4 cup}
    • juice from 1 lime
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • 1 small jalapeno minced
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

    for lettuce wraps:

    • 8 large lettuce leaves

    Instructions

    Marinate the tuna:

    • Add the tuna, liquid aminos or soy sauce, juice from one lime, and salt to a sealable container or bag. Let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    For the salsa:

    • Meanwhile, make the salsa: Stir together blood oranges, avocados, green onions, juice from one lime, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, and salt. Cover and set aside.

    For the tuna:

    • When ready to cook the tuna, heat avocado, olive, or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
    • Remove tuna from marinade and let excess drip off. Put the tuna in the hot skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until tuna easily releases from skillet and is cooked to desired doneness.

    For the lettuce wraps:

    • Slice cooked tuna. Serve tuna in lettuce leaves with salsa spooned over tuna. Enjoy!

    Notes

    *The recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups of salsa. You might not use it all for the wraps. Leftovers are great over eggs or served with chips. Nutrition facts include entire batch of salsa.
