Fresh Tuna Tacos

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chilies, see note
• 1 (8-ounce) ahi tuna steak, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 taco shells

Directions

Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Place tuna in medium bowl; sprinkle with taco seasoning. Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna; saute to desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in sour cream mixture. Cook just until heated through, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes (do not boil).

Heat taco shells in microwave 20 seconds. Fill taco shells with tuna mixture.

Note: Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Makes 4 servings.
