Chop some avocados, add packaged tuna, and mix in some store-bought pico de gallo. Ready in less than 5 minutes, this is a perfect lunch option or quick-fix dish with southwestern flair. It does pay to go with fresh pico de gallo, which you can purchase in the produce section or at the deli counter in most grocery stores.
