Perfectly seared tuna, thinly sliced & draped inside warm tortillas, topped with pineapple salsa & a sweet-heat crema. Tuna & pineapple salsa tacos – perfect for a fast & fresh midweek dinner or for a barbie get-together on the weekend.

Pineapple pairs beautifully with any seafood & especially the oily fish – tuna, salmon, sardines, trout, swordfish & mackerel. Pineapple contains an enzyme called ‘bromelain‘ that not only helps inflammation in the body but it aids in digestion & helps to breakdown the fat in the food we consume. We love it because it works well in both sweet & savory recipes. And epitomizes warmer weather.

If you opt to make these for a weekend soiree then the salsa & sauce can be made a day ahead. All that’s left to do is to quickly sear the tuna & warm the tortillas – both take mere minutes.

And if your family love the crunch of the hard corn taco shells then use those. Soft or crunchy, either way, this is a recipe family & friends will love. Love Mexican flavors? Then try Mexican Brushcetta.

Or Bean & Beans Nachos. Maybe Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Pot Roast.

Gyros are traditionally cooked on a vertical spit Gyros are traditionally cooked on a vertical spit with pork or chicken. Not having a vertical spit, I opted for a less traditional method of cooking the chicken – horizontally on a barbie. The results of a spice rub marinade, a light bathing in olive oil and a quick, hot blast on the grill produced lots of flavor reminiscent of Spiced Chicken Gyros’ vertical cousin.
