SEARED TUNA & AVOCADO ROLLS
Steps:
- Heat a medium (10 to 11-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Brush the tuna all over with olive oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna in the skillet for exactly one minute on each side. (The inside will be raw.) Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, Tabasco, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the tuna, scallions, and jalapeño. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice. Carefully stir the avocado into the tuna mixture and set aside for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat and heat until the butter sizzles. Without opening the buns, toast them on each side for one minute, until nicely browned. Line the buns up on a platter, cut sides up, and spoon the tuna mixture into the buns. Drizzle with the Chipotle Mayonnaise and sprinkle on the pickled shallots. Serve while the buns are warm.
- Place the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth. Refrigerate for up to a week.
COCONUT TUNA TARTARE WITH AVOCADO MOUSSE
Steps:
- In a medium stainless mixing bowl combine the diced tuna, coconut, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, almonds, currants, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Peel and halve the avocados and remove the pits. Give them a rough chop and place them in a small stainless mixing bowl. Add the remaining lime juice, cayenne, cumin, paprika, and olive oil. Mash the seasoned avocado with a sturdy whisk until creamy in texture and season with salt and pepper.
- To serve: Divide the avocado mixture equally into the bottom of 8 martini glasses. Separate the tuna into eight equal portions and spoon on top of the avocado.

AVOCADO MOUSSE
This avocado mousse is really easy to whip together and has so much rich, tangy, and zesty flavor. Super versatile, my favorite ways to use it are as a taco, burrito bowl, or fajita topping, or switch it up for a salad dressing (it's particularly good in a Cobb salad), a dip for a crudite platter, or spread on a sandwich or burger.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are easier to mash and have a creamier texture.
- Use canned tuna in water. Canned tuna in oil will make the mousse too oily.
- Add some lemon juice. Lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor of the mousse and prevents the avocado from browning.
- Season the mousse to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve the mousse immediately. Avocado mousse is best served fresh.
Conclusion:
Avocado tuna mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can also be served as a light lunch or dinner. This mousse is a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it is also a good source of healthy fats and protein.
