The tunacado sandwich–that is, tuna and avocado sandwich–has been blowing up on the social media space for the past few months. It was thrust into the spotlight after Danielle Matzon, a creator who constantly shares on different snacks to try, raved about the sandwich by Joe & The Juice.

At one point, I feel like almost every other video on my TikTok fyp was the tunacado. But it’s not surprising to see how popular this snack has become! A delicious sandwich that’s incredibly filling, and takes only 15 minutes to put together.

This is a quick meal recipe that you can easily make for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Tunacado Sandwich Recipe

Here’s my own spin on the viral sandwich recipe. On a piece of sourdough bread, spread the “tuna mousse” mix, a layer of pesto, then some sliced avocados. I also love to top it off with some chili flakes for that perfect bit of heat.

As with most sandwiches, this recipe is adaptable to your tastes and whims. The Joe & The Juice sandwich uses flatbread and contains sliced tomatoes. Some additional toppings that are equally popular include capers, pickles, grainy mustard, and hot sauce.

  • Japanese mayo

Instructions

Soy sauce eggs @farahjeats This Malaysian style Soy sauce eggs @farahjeats 
This Malaysian style soy sauce eggs is one of my favorite easy meals and it’s also a comfort food not just for me but for many Malaysians. I ate this a lot growing up and during my student days. Probably one of the first recipes I learned how to cook!
The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
