Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ahi tuna steak
- 4 pieces Corn tostada shells
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by finely dicing the red onion and jalapeño. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the cilantro. Set aside.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, juice from half the lime, and mash until smooth. Set aside.
Cut the ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch. Ensure even sizing for consistent marination and taste.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, and the juice from the remaining lime half. Whisk to create a marinade.
Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
While the tuna is marinating, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, quickly sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the outer edges are just cooked, but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat immediately.
To assemble, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each tostada shell. Top with a spoonful of seared tuna.
Garnish with a mixture of cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
