The Secret Ingredient

Ingredients

  • 10 large jalapeño chiles
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 3 cans (5 ounces each) white albacore tuna in water, drained
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green olives
  • 2 teaspoons capers

  • 1/2 cup NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Fat Free Milk

Make It

Step 1

Place jalapeños in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Boil for 10 minutes or until jalapeños begin to darken in color. Remove from heat; drain and let cool.

Step 2

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add tomato sauce; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add tuna, olives, capers and bouillon. Carefully break tuna into medium to large pieces as it cooks. Remove from heat; stir in evaporated milk. Cover; keep warm.

Step 4

Pat jalapeños dry with a paper towel. Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and veins with a small spoon.

Step 5

Place 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons tuna mixture in each jalapeño half. Sprinkle with thyme.
