Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fresh tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 large (sliced) Avocado
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 pieces (juiced and zested) Lime
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (optional) Hot sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the tuna steaks.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish (adjust cooking time if you prefer more doneness). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In another small bowl, prepare the lime crema by combining sour cream, the juice and zest of 1 lime, garlic powder, and hot sauce if using. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering a few slices of seared tuna on each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of lime crema.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the second lime before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and zesty tuna tacos!
