Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 Roma tomatoes, diced

  • 4 green onions, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 4 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, drained

  • 3 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 12 corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, green onions, garlic, cumin, and oregano; cook until tomatoes are very soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add drained tuna. Gently break into bite-sized pieces, then stir to combine; season with hot sauce, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook until tuna is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  2. Stack 6 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate; cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until pliable, 15 to 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining 6 tortillas. Spoon tuna mixture on warm tortillas.
