Avocado Tuna Bites
Makes 9 bites - a serving would be 3 or 4 bites depending on how hungry you are. Three was perfect with a little side of baby spinach. I calculated the nutritional value based on 1 bite.

Ingredients:
1 - 5 oz can of tuna (I use Bumblebee Albacore white) drained
2 Tbsp Mayo
1/2 medium avocado (sliced and cubed)
1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
a dash of salt
black pepper to taste
1/8 cup almond flour (for breading)
4 Tbsp coconut oil (for frying)

Directions:
Combine tuna, mayo, Parmesan and seasoning together in a medium bowl. Add cubed avocado and gently stir into the tuna mix. You want to have chunks of avocado so don't stir vigorously.

Rolls the mixture into 9 equal balls. Pour out the almond flour on a plate and roll the balls in the flour to cover. Melt the coconut oil in a skillet and fry until golden brown.

NOTE: 1/2 of the coconut oil will be absorbed into the bites. Two Tbsp of coconut oil was added into the nutrition calculations.
