Summer Tuna

Well our friend Sean just got back from a long day off the coast. 20 tuna in the boat and a long 4 hour tow-in of a distressed vessel they were traveling with. Sounds like things are hopping and the kill bags are supporting the effort well.

Thought I'd throw out a Tex-Mex Alternative to the tuna sandwich:

San Antonio Tuna Time

Ingredients:
2 cups albacore tuna
1/2 cup of sliced ripe black olives
1/2 cup of sliced green onions without tops
1/2 cup of thinly sliced celery
2/3 cup of your favorite salsa
1/2 cup of dairy sour cream
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
A handful of lettuce leaves or shredded lettuce
12 taco shells or 3 cups of tortilla chips


Directions:
Combine tuna, olives, green onions and celery in a medium bowl. Combine salsa, sour cream and cumin; mix well. Pour salsa mixture over tuna mixture; toss lightly. To serve, line taco shells with lettuce leaves; spoon tuna mixture into shells. Another option is to line individual serving plates with shredded lettuce; top with tuna mixture and surround with tortilla chips. Drizzle with additional salsa Sauce; top with additional sour cream, if desired.
