CHIPOTLE RUBBED TUNA WITH CORN SALSA AND HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

How Mexican is this? Fish, chilli, corn and tomatoes - basics of Mexican cuisine. If Columbus hadn't sailed to the Americas, someone else would have. If the Spanish hadn't colonised the continent, someone else would have. If they hadn't taken tomatoes, corn and chilli back to Europe, someone else would have. It's hard to imagine Italy without its tomatoes or polenta. It's hard to imagine Belgium or Switzerland without chocolate. It's hard to imagine summer without mango or avocado. All have their origins in Mexico and other countries of central america. This is yellowfin tuna, caught off Mooloolaba, a couple of hours' drive north of here.
