This was really good. I omitted the tomatoes because fiancee doesn't like, and substituted them with portabella mushrooms. I rubbed the tuna with dried oregano & thyme for extra flavour.
Tuna, Goat Cheese, and Spinach Tacos
With flavors more Mediterranean than Mexican, this luscious recipe gives a crowd-pleasing twist to a Latin favorite.
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 ounces room-temperature goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 1/2 pounds (1/2-inch-thick) tuna steaks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 4 large flour tortillas
Preparation
- Combine sour cream and goat cheese in a bowl, stirring until blended. Set aside.
- Sprinkle tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna, and cook 2 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from skillet, and set aside.
- Add tomatoes to skillet, and remove from heat. Cook tomatoes with residual heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add spinach; stir 1 minute or until slightly wilted. Remove from skillet.
- Warm tortillas according to package directions. Slice tuna across the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Place strips on half of each tortilla. Top with spinach and tomatoes, and drizzle with goat cheese mixture. Fold tortilla, and serve immediately.
