If you're in search of Mexican recipes for Lent, then you'll probably like this. Not only it's very easy to make, but it's also the perfect refreshment for a warm afternoon. Every year I start putting away my cans of tuna because they usually save me a lot of time during Lent. Tuna is very versatile as it can be combined with anything and is a great source of protein. This Mexican preparation offers a light dish with avocados as the perfect addition. I hope you like it!
