Description

Not only are these tacos fresh and easy, but from start to finish, they require no more than 20 minutes to fashion up. Seared tuna means crisp flavor on the outside and the fish stays tender inside.


Ingredients

Scale

Ahi

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
  • 2 ½-pound sushi-grade ahi steaks (or one 1-pound ahi steak)
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Mango Avocado Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

Tacos

  • Corn tortillas
  • Chopped cilantro, optional
  • Fresh lime

Instructions

To Prepare the Salsa

  1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir together to combine

To Sear the Ahi

  1. In a medium-sized cast iron skillet (or regular skillet), heat the oil to medium-high. Sprinkle the ahi steaks with kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Carefully place the ahi steaks on the skillet and sear until crispy and the ahi is cooked about ¼” inch up the steak. Repeat for the other side.
  3. Place the ahi steaks on a cutting board and once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the steaks.
  4. Heat the corn tortillas in the cast iron skillet. Place them on a plate and load them up with desired amount of ahi and mango avocado salsa.
