How to Make Roasted Poblano–Potato Salad with Flaked Tuna (Ensalada de Rajas, Papas y Atún)

1. Roast Poblano Chiles

Roast the poblano chiles until their skins are blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes on an open flame or 10 minutes under a broiler. Place them in a bowl covered with a kitchen towel to cool before peeling.

2. Prepare Potatoes

Combine potato pieces with a teaspoon of salt in a microwaveable bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Let cool to room temperature.

3. Sauté Onions and Poblanos

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the red onion for about 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the vinegar, oregano, black pepper, and poblano strips, stirring to combine.

4. Assemble Salad

Combine the cooled potatoes with the onion and poblano mixture. Fold in the flaked tuna and chopped cilantro until evenly distributed.

5. Serve

Arrange lettuce on each plate and spoon the salad mixture over it. Serve immediately.
