Ingredients

  • 1 mango, seeded, peeled, and chopped

  • ½ cup chopped peeled jicama

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • ¼ cup snipped fresh mint

  • ½ - 1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 4 6 ounce fresh or frozen tuna steaks, cut 1 inch thick
