Mexican-Style Tuna With Vegetables Recipe

Recipe By QueRicaVida

In my kitchen, i like to always have a few cans of tuna available. This allows me to quickly prepare a last-minute meal thats full of sabor. Tuna is very versatileit can easily be combined with many other ingredients and recipes. I remember that when i was little, my mother frequently prepared tuna salad for us, as well as a juicy tuna with tomato sauce. The dish im presenting today is inspired by my mothers preparation with a few modifications; ive made this recipe a bit drier to accompany more dishes, and have added potatoes, carrots and peas to provide a more vegetable-rich meal. A little spice is a must in this dish, but on this occasion i didnt use serrano peppers, which are standard in mexican cooking. I decided to use a toque of chipotle chili pepper powder for a slightly different taste. I hope you enjoy it
