Today’s Recipe: Spicy Tuna Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my unique twist on the classic taco recipe. These spicy tuna tacos with pineapple salsa are perfect for a fun weekend dinner with friends or a tasty snack on a warm summer day. The combination of spicy tuna and sweet pineapple salsa is simply irresistible!

Ingredients:

  • tuna steak (200g)
  • corn tortillas (6)
  • pineapple (1/2, diced)
  • red onion (1/4, finely chopped)
  • jalapeño (1, seeds removed and finely chopped)
  • lime (1, juiced)
  • cilantro (a handful, chopped)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill pan
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, season the tuna steak with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on your preference for doneness. Once cooked, let the tuna rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

In a mixing bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine all the flavors.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill pan for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with the sliced tuna and top with the pineapple salsa.

Enjoy these spicy tuna tacos with pineapple salsa with an ice-cold drink and good company. The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 6 servings. Each serving is around 116g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One clever tip for added flavor is to char the pineapple on the grill pan before dicing it for the salsa. This adds a smoky sweetness that complements the spicy tuna perfectly.

I hope you give this recipe a try and make it your own with your favorite toppings and seasonings. Let me know in the comments how you liked these spicy tuna tacos with pineapple salsa! Bon appétit!
