Grilled Tuna Tacos
1 tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 jalapeƱo, seeded and chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds (1 1/2-inch) thick tuna steaks
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 corn tortillas
1 avocado, diced( alternative is guacamole)
Heat grill.
In a bowl combine tomato, onion, jalapeno, lime and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Brush tuna with oil. Grill fish about 5 minutes per side until fish flakes easily with a fork or until fish reaches desired doneness. Remove from grill and set aside.
Heat beans in a saucepan over medium heat.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, or place on grill 15 seconds per side.
Cut tuna into 1-inch chunks.
In a bowl combine tuna with tomato mixture and avocado sprinkled with any remaining lime juice. Layer each warm tortilla with 1/4 cup black beans and a portion of tuna salad.
Makes 8 servings.
I've used trout, redfish, and lemon fish which all worked well.
