Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 large Ripe avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro leaves
- 1 large Lime
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Hot sauce
Instructions
Start by preparing the tuna steaks. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness. For a perfectly seared tuna, the middle should remain pink. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the tuna rests, slice the avocado and cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro leaves. Cut the lime into wedges.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Slice the seared tuna into thin strips.
Assemble the tortillas: Place slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and tuna onto each tortilla.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and hot sauce. Drizzle this mixture over the toppings on each tortilla.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and squeeze a wedge of lime over each tortilla for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fresh Tuna Tortillas!
