TUNA TACOS



Tuna Tacos image

This is a tuna taco recipe I created 25 years ago. It is easy, quick, and very tasty. When served with crackers it makes a really good light snack or appetizer. I find that once you start eating them you really can't stop. I like to serve this with a chicken rice. To lighten the recipe, you can eat with crackers.

FISH TACOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 small yellow onion
1 jalapeno pepper
2 plum tomatoes
1 fresh lime
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 tablespoon onion power
2 cups corn flour, such as Maseca
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup room temperature water
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 small fish fillets (We use tuna, but you can substitute with whatever your family's favorite fish is. Total weight should be about 1 1/2 pounds.)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crisp chardonnay (if you have to cook with it, make it something that you will enjoy finishing your meal!)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the pico de "guyo": Remove the thin outer layers of the onion and chop into 1/8- by 1/8-inch pieces. Chop the jalapeno in half and remove the seeds and inner membrane (use gloves when handling the jalapeno). Dice the jalapeno into small pieces. Cut the tomatoes into 1/8- by 1/8-inch pieces. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the mix. Add the salt and pepper. Let all the ingredients sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the cilantro lime sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder and onion powder together and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the corn tortillas: Place the corn flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Slowly add the water while mixing the dough with your hands until it becomes a tad bit softer than a "play dough" consistency. Break off the dough into twenty-four 1/4-inch round balls. Flatten the dough using a tortilla press that has been lined with a ziptop bag on each side. Remove the dough and place directly onto a skillet that has been lightly oiled and heated to 350 degrees F. When you notice the dough just beginning to show stress cracks, about 3 minutes, flip it and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stack with paper towels in between each tortilla.
  • For the blackening seasoning: Combine the oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and white pepper in a bowl and mix together.
  • For the fish: Cut your fresh fish into small cubes about 1/4- by 1/4-inch. Sprinkle liberally with 1/2 tablespoon of the blackening seasoning. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan and saute for 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and continue to saute for about 45 more seconds. Add the wine and cilantro. Finish cooking about 1 more minute.
  • Reheat the tortillas if necessary, remove from the heat and add some lettuce, cooked fish, cilantro lime sauce and pico de "guyo". Serve 3 per plate. Enjoy!

SPICE-CURED TUNA TACOS



Spice-cured tuna tacos image

Use the freshest fish possible in these tacos. Instead of tuna, you could use fresh or smoked salmon, sliced scallops, picked white crabmeat, or chopped cooked king prawns

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Lunch, Starter

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

400g fresh line-caught tuna
3 tbsp olive oil
2 limes , zested, 1 juiced
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
½ tsp chilli flakes
3 ripe avocados , de-stoned and peeled
3 tbsp coriander leaves
1 tbsp pickle liquor from the pickled jalapeño chillies
8small soft flour tacos
vegetable oil , for brushing and drizzling
pickled jalapeño chillies
50g pomegranate seeds
1bunch coriander , chopped, with a few leaves left whole
4 shredded spring onions
2 limes , cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Slice the tuna into 1cm strips, then dice into rough 1cm cubes. Drizzle over the olive oil and scatter over the lime zest, stir and put in the fridge for 20 mins or so. Gently toast the cumin and coriander in a small frying pan, then tip into a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and the chilli flakes and crush to a coarse powder. Stir the spice mix into the tuna with the lime juice and put the bowl back in the fridge for at least 10 mins or up to 1 hr.
  • To make the avocado purée, put all the ingredients in a food processor with a pinch of salt and blitz until you have a smooth purée, adding a little oil if it's too thick to blitz. Spoon the mixture into a container.
  • If you like your tacos crispy, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, brush them with a little oil, place on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 mins. To build each taco, spoon on some avocado purée and spread out to the edge. Spoon on the spiced tuna and sprinkle over the chillies, pomegranate seeds, coriander and spring onions, drizzle with more oil and add a lime wedge to the plate. Eat with your hands, if soft, or a knife and fork if crispy.

TUNA TACOS



Tuna Tacos image

This recipe was given over the radio in the 1950s by the owner of Jordan's Mexican Restaurant, a venerable old eating establishment here in Phoenix. Jordan's did not sell these; they were home food for the family. These are really different tacos, but delish. Note the salad variation at the end.
