Hello! It’s Mystery Dish time again! If you haven’t seen this before, a group of 11 other bloggers and I use a list of ingredients and each come up with a recipe using at least three foods from the list. This month I am the host, which means I chose the ingredients!

Here’s my list: pistachios, wine, mint, gluten-free flour (coconut, rice, almond, etc.), red pepper flakes, fish, agave nectar, applesauce, blueberries, parmesan cheese, milk, and corn.

I actually hadn’t decided what I was going to make yet and then realized I already made these tuna tacos with avocado corn salsa that accidentally fit the bill! This salsa is so easy to make. You only need a handful of ingredients and a few minutes to be ready for dipping. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and a lot good.

The salsa includes corn, agave nectar, and red pepper flakes from the ingredient list, and the fish in the tacos was a bonus ingredient. I found frozen ahi tuna steaks that were a real treat for this dinner. After thawing them in the refrigerator, I dried them well with paper towels, seasoned them with a dry BBQ rub, and seared them on all sides in a little oil in a very hot skillet.

It had been too long since I enjoyed rare tuna. So good!  If tuna’s not your thing, this salsa is delicious on its own with chips, or it would be great on chicken tacos too.
