Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Ahi tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 small Tortillas
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small (diced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 small (minced, optional for heat) Jalapeño
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in the marinade and coat well. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the tuna is marinating, prepare the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and minced jalapeño (if using) to the mashed avocado. Mix gently and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the pan is hot, sear the ahi tuna steaks for 1 to 2 minutes per side for rare, or longer if you prefer a higher level of doneness. Remove from the heat and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of seared ahi tuna on each tortilla, then topping with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Seared Ahi Tacos with Avocado Salsa!
