Tuna Filling

Method

Tuna Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare Tuna Mixture

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, mayonnaise, lime juice, diced red onion, chopped jalapeño (if using), cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Mini Taco Shells

  1. 2

    Prepare Mini Taco Shells

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of each mini tortilla with olive oil. Drape the tortillas over the bars of an oven rack or place them in taco shell molds to form a taco shape. Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Toppings and Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Tiny Tuna Tacos

    To each mini taco shell, add a small layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a spoonful of the prepared tuna mixture. Top with diced cherry tomatoes, avocado, and crumbled queso fresco or feta. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
