Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans skipjack tuna
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 white potatoes cleaned, peeled, and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 piquillo pepper chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 cup manzanilla olives
  • 1 tablespoon pickled red peppers
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon latin spices (sazon latino)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 pie crusts

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet saute the potatoes with the garlic. Then add the canned tuna and combine.  Continue cooking and add the piquillo peppers, the capers, the pickled red peppers, and the olives.
  • Season with the spices and add the tomato puree — cook for 10-15 minutes, and set aside. 
  • Use a pie glass pan and add the pie crust. With a fork make some punches for allowing the dough to cook thoroughly. 
  • Add the tuna mix you made, preferably cold or at room temperature. Close the pie with the second layer of pie crust. Beat an egg and add eggwash for a golden finish. 
  • Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes until crust is golden brown. Serve immediately and pair with a salad.
