- 0.25 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- To Prepare the Salsa
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir together to combine
- To Sear the Ahi
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the ahi steaks on a cutting board and once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the steaks.
- 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
Notes
- For best results, use sushi-grade ahi tuna to ensure optimal quality and safety.
- If mango is out of season, you can substitute with another ripe fruit like peach or pineapple.
- To prevent the ahi from overcooking, ensure your skillet is hot and sear the tuna for a short time on each side.
