Description

A quick and flavorful skipjack tuna recipe that combines canned tuna with spices and olive oil for a hearty meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 cans skipjack tuna (170g each, 120g drained)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Drain the canned skipjack tuna and place it in a medium bowl or directly in your frying pan.
  2. Stir in ⅓ cup of extra virgin olive oil and all the spices: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and sea salt. Mix well until the tuna is fully coated.
  3. Heat your frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Once warmed, reduce heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. If the tuna appears dry, drizzle in more olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.

Notes

For extra spiciness, gradually add a third tablespoon of chili powder. Experiment with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added flavor.
