Tacos with tuna may sound odd, but they are fantastic. These are now our favorite because I tossed them together for dinner one night. Serve with additional spicy sauce, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, if preferred.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
- 4 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, drained
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, green onions, garlic, cumin, and oregano; saute until tomatoes are very soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add drained tuna; gently break into bite-sized pieces and mix in. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook until tuna is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Stack 6 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave until pliable, 15 to 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon tuna mixture over warm tortillas.

Very good and easy to make. I used canned diced tomatoes and red onion.
It’s quick and easy. Something different.
Made as written and this turned out perfect! It doesn’t get any easier than this. I made a slaw to serve over them and ended up with a winning combo. Thanks for sharing!
