1 can tuna, drained
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp crushed red pepper

Steps:

Heat a non-stick pan (medium heat) and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add in the tuna, chickpeas, basil, tomato paste, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove and the crushed red pepper. Mix everything together and keep stirring for 4-5 minutes, so that the chickpeas and tuna absorb all the flavors.

Arrange your bowl: Start with 1/2 cup cabbage, around 4 Tbsp of the tuna + chickpeas, then 1/4 cup olives, 1/2 avocado, some jalapeno and 2 Tbsp hummus. Top with some toasted sesame seeds.
