Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cans tuna about 5 ounces each, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Add the drained tuna to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork until light and separated.
  • Add the mayonnaise, almond flour, shredded cheddar, garlic, salt, parsley, red bell pepper, and eggs to the bowl.
  • Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 evenly sized patties.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the tuna cakes in batches, frying for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Thicker patties may need slightly more time.
  • Remove from the pan and serve warm.

Notes

These tuna cakes can be served on low carb bread, in lettuce wraps, or eaten on their own. Sour cream makes an easy optional topping.
