Copycat Joe & the Juice's Tunacado Sandwich
Inspired by the viral sandwich from Joe & the Juice, we put our twist on the popular tuna-avocado sandwich. Adding chili crisp to the pesto adds delicious flavor, while processing the tuna with avocado creates a wonderfully creamy spread. These sandwiches are packed with texture and flavor, and will quickly make their way into your weekly lunch rotation.

Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained
- ⅓ cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 medium avocado, coarsely chopped, plus 1 medium avocado, thinly sliced, divided
- ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons refrigerated basil pesto
- 1 tablespoon chili crisp
- 8 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 16 slices)
- 2 cups baby butter lettuce leaves
Directions
- Place tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and half of the chopped avocado in a food processor; process on High, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Stir in pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Wash and dry the food processor bowl. Add pesto, chili crisp and the remaining half of the chopped avocado; process on High until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Arrange toast on a work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto mixture on each slice. Spread 1/2 cup of the tuna mixture on each of 4 slices over the pesto layer. Evenly layer sliced avocado, tomato slices and lettuce on top of the tuna mixture; top with the remaining toast slices, pesto-side down. Cut the sandwiches into halves.
