Time 45m

Yield 8 tacos, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
12 ounces ahi or 12 ounces albacore tuna, cut into 1 inch steaks
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
8 taco shells
2 limes, halved
2 ripe avocados, pit and skin discarded
2 medium tomatoes, diced, into 1/4 inch cubes
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, leaves, coarsely, chopped, stems discarded before before measuring
1/4 cup red onion, diced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
  • Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F for the taco shells.
  • Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
  • Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 minutes (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
  • While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
  • Avocado Salsa: Avocado is just ripe if it indents with the firm press of a finger.
  • Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. DO NOT MASH AVOCADO.

These tacos were amazing! The ahi was cooked perfectly, and the avocado salsa was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.

These tacos were delicious, but they were a bit too dry. I would recommend adding a little more olive oil to the marinade.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder in the avocado salsa.

These tacos were delicious, but they were a bit too messy to eat. I would recommend using smaller tortillas or cutting the ahi into smaller pieces.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tacos turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the avocado salsa.
