Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water or oil*, drained
  • 1 cup stuffed green olives with pimientos
  • 2 to 3 sliced jalapeños or 8 to 12 rajas (from 7.7-oz can), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pickled sauce from jalapeños (salmuera)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Cooked white rice, if desired

Directions

    In 2-quart saucepan, place potatoes and water to cover. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 9 to 11 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.

    In 4-quart saucepan, heat vegetable oil. Cook onions in oil 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Stir in tomatoes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tuna, olives, jalapeños, pickled sauce, potatoes and salt. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes for flavors to incorporate. Serve with warm rice.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    *If you want to use the 7-oz pouches, buy 3.
  • tip 2
    Mansanilla olives are also stuffed with pimiento and are more affordable than the larger olives (queen olives).
  • tip 3
    Serve with your favorite bread. You can make subs (tortas/sandwiches) with the “recalentado” (leftovers).
