Elaboration
There are two preparations needed for this recipe: the French omelets that will function as tortillas and the light fried-egg mayonnaise.
French omelets
- First, we must prepare the taco itself, the star of this recipe. In this case, it will be in the form of a French omelet.
- Open the Palacio de Oriente cans of albacore in the extra virgin olive oil that we use as covering liquid for our preserves. We will use this oil to cook the French omelet.
- Place a non-stick pan on the cooker and pour a dash of oil from the albacore can. Choose the right size so that the omelet comes out round, just like a taco.
- While the oil heats up, go ahead and beat two eggs in a bowl. It is the moment to make the French omelets and set them aside. To make the process easier later on, ensure they come out with a round shape.
- Depending on your preference, you can prepare smaller omelets. Try to make them out of one egg if you want an individual starter.
Light fried-egg-flavored mayonnaise
- To prepare the light mayonnaise that will garnish the albacore taco, first you will need to fry an egg in olive oil. Once fried, set it aside.
- Place a raw egg into a deep container, and cover it with mild olive oil.
- With the aid of a mixer, it’s time to make the mayonnaise. In order to get a good flavor and unctuous texture, don’t forget to keep the mixer on the lower area of the container, without moving it.
- Once you’ve ascertained that the mix has begun to thicken and that it looks like it has the right consistency, you can start moving the mixer and you can add the fried egg into the container. Keep mixing until the emulsion is complete.
- If you would prefer a foamier result, use a whipping siphon. Once the mayonnaise has the correct consistency, pour the mixture into the siphon. For this particular instance, it would be better if the mayonnaise were still a little liquid. It should be a half-liter siphon with a CO2 cartridge. Shake the mixture and let it cool down.
Serve the dish
- Empty the contents of the cans with albacore in extra virgin olive oil into a bowl, where you can cut up the tuna into dice for more appetizing pieces. That way the bites will be easier to eat.
- The moment has come to fill the tacos. Depending on how you have decided to serve this starter, you will have to fill up two omelets to share, or four individual ones.
- Spread some light mayonnaise over your round omelet using the whipping siphon. If you don’t have this tool, you can spread a thin coat of mayonnaise normally.
- Next, add the pieces of albacore in extra virgin olive oil from Palacio de Oriente. Make sure the filling has the right amount of ingredients while ensuring you can still fold the omelet as if it were a taco.
- If the tacos are to share, cut them up so that everyone can try a piece. If you prepared a starter for each person, serve the tacos on individual plates.
- Get ready to enjoy a nutritious dish, a little different and very tasty. Surprise your guests with the mayonnaise’s texture and its perfect flavor pairing with the omelet and Palacio de Oriente’s albacore.
