Green death tuna sandwich

History and Origin of the Green Death Tuna Sandwich

The Green Death Tuna Sandwich is a popular recipe in various regions of Latin America, especially in countries where avocado is a common ingredient in the daily diet. Its peculiar name refers to the intense green color provided by the avocado combined with the tuna and other ingredients, creating a striking visual and flavor contrast.

In different Latin American countries, this type of preparation can be found under various names, although the main base and the mix of ingredients maintain their essence. For example, in Mexico and Central America, it is common to find sandwiches with tuna and avocado salad, although they are not always called "green death." In some places, it may simply be called "tuna and avocado sandwich" or "green sandwich." The inclusion of hard-boiled egg and mayonnaise provides a creamy texture that balances the flavor, making it an ideal option for a quick and nutritious lunch.
