2 tablespoons roasted hatch green chiles, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (or substitute with sour cream)

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 small clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (use your choice for a wholesome base)

1 cup cucumbers, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the drained albacore tuna with the olive oil. Then, add the finely chopped hatch green chiles, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well blended and creamy.

    Cook the Base: If not already prepared, cook your quinoa or brown rice according to the package instructions. This wholesome base will provide the perfect foundation for your bowl.

      Chop the Vegetables: Take a moment to dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion. Keep all the chopped vegetables neatly tucked away in a small bowl until ready to use.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, create a generous layer of quinoa or rice at the bottom. Spoon the spicy tuna mixture generously over the grains, ensuring an even distribution.

          Add Fresh Veggies: On top of the spicy tuna, layer the diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion. This will add a refreshing crunch and vibrant color to your bowl.

            Finish with Avocado: Nestle a few slices of creamy avocado on top of the assembled bowl. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an aromatic touch.

              Serve: Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the assembled bowl to enhance the flavors, and provide lime wedges on the side for those who desire additional zest.
