Southwestern Albacore Kebabs
Four servings

This recipe gives albacore a distinctive "Tex-Mex" flavor from a marinade containing a minimal amount of oil; while a little oil is needed to prevent sticking on the grill, these kebabs shatter any misconceptions that Tex-Mex cookery has to be fattening! Serve with rice, tortillas, low- or no-fat black beans and a ration of your favorite white cheese
