Tuna and Mango Skewers

You will be amazed at how fast, easy, and gourmet these skewers turn out (not to mention absolutely delicious).  Minimal ingredients and prep time make these ideal for a party appetizer or summer barbeque.  Set aside 35 minutes and get skewing!

What you'll need:

• 1 lb Fresh Tuna Steaks (about 4 steaks)
• 1/4 cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (one orange)
• 2 Tbsp Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Tsp Ground Ginger
• 1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 Tsp Sesame Seeds
• 2 Mangos (cubed)
• 1 Avocado
• Wooden Skewers

Preheat the oven to broil.  Mix the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.  Set aside 2 Tbsp of it in a small container.  Cut the tuna steaks into cubes (1-2 inches) and use the remainder of the mixture to marinate the chicken for at least a half hour (and up to an hour).  While the tuna is marinating, cube the ripe mangos and slice the avocados.  When the tuna is ready, sprinkle the cubes with sesame seeds and skew them along with the mango.  Place on a broiling pan and broil for a minute and a half on each side (3 minutes total).  The tuna should be cooked on the outside, yet still pink on the inside.  Use the remaining 2 Tbsp of marinade to drizzle over the skewers.  Serve with avocado slices.
