1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and boil for about 45-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.
2
Marinate the Vegetables
Slice the red onion and bell peppers. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate.
3
Grill the Octopus
Once the octopus is cool, cut it into smaller pieces. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the octopus with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until charred.
4
Grill the Vegetables
On a grill pan, add the marinated onions and peppers. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.
5
Serve
Warm the tortillas on the grill for a minute. Serve the grilled octopus and vegetables with chipotle-tomatillo salsa and lemon wedges on the side.
