GRILLED TUNA WITH CHIPOTLE PONZU AND AVOCADO SALSA



Grilled Tuna With Chipotle Ponzu and Avocado Salsa image

My daughter made this last night and had a taste and was pleasantly surprised! This is a great example of how bold Asian and Latin flavors can work well together. The orange and lime juice are in place of the rice vinegar = the acidic ingredient used in a Japanese ponzu dipping sauce. The hot, smoky chipotle chiles give it that extra kick! The avocado salsa gives it that cooling feeling. Cooking Light Magazine, November 2005. You can also use the ponzu with chicken!
