Ahi Tuna Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

  5.0 – 0 reviews  • Fish

The only way I can possibly spell this dish’s actual name is Cabushka or something similar. My mother’s father is from Czechoslovakia, and he has three talented cooks for sisters. I’ve had a lot of fun learning to make this dish. When we last got together, there were three bowls with different variations of the same food, and they were all scraped clean!

Yield: 4 tacos

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  2. 2 teaspoons salt
  3. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  4. 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  5. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  6. 1 pound ahi tuna steaks
  7. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  8. 4 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
  9. 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  10. ½ whole fresh pineapple – peeled, cored, and diced
  11. ½ medium red onion, diced
  12. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
  13. 2 tablespoons lime juice
  14. 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
  15. 2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Instructions

  1. Mix black pepper, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Rub all over tuna steaks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, stir pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper, and lime zest for salsa together in a bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  3. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add tuna steaks and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Remove from the skillet and slice steaks thinly.
  4. Spread sour cream in a thin layer over each warmed tortilla. Add tuna slices, top with pineapple salsa, and wrap to seal.
