Today I attempted making fish tacos for lunch and it was a success! I looked up a couple of recipes online but saw they used grilled/fried fish, so I decided to put a new spin to it by using canned tuna :D Recipe below!
Spicy Tuna Tacos
You need:
- 1 large can of Century Tuna Hot & Spicy
- 1 large white onion minced
- 3 diced tomatoes
- 1 bowl of shredded lettuce
- Cilantro
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 1 lemon/lime
- 1 cup sour cream
- Olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 pack of soft tortillas
- 2 green chilies (optional)
Fish taco:
Drain the oil and water from the can of tuna. While draining, sautee 3/4 of minced onion in pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil. When the onion starts to clear, add drained tuna and sautee in semi-dry heat, you want the fish to be as dry as possible.
Place tortilla on grill/stove top until warm/blistery (your choice how charred you want your tortilla to be). Place tortilla on plate and scoop generous amounts of tuna on top.
Sour cream sauce:
Flavor the sour cream with grated garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Don’t go overboard with the garlic because a little goes a long way. spoon sauce on top of fish.
Side salad/ veg:
Lightly dress the shredded lettuce with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix tomato, cilantro and what’s left of onion in one bowl. Plate salsa on top of the bed of lettuce.
Spoon salsa on top of the fish taco as well.
If you want extra heat, place green chilies on the stove until charred and blistered. Gently peel off the charred skin. If you want it to be really hot, go ahead and slice it up into small disks. If you want it milder, slice the chili lengthwise and remove the seeds, slice it and mix into salsa.
How to eat:
You can add the salad to the tortilla and the cheese and eat it as a wrap, or you can eat it separately.
