Ingredients

Before we get cooking, let’s gather the necessary ingredients:

2 Ahi Tuna steaks (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white or black, or a mix)
8 small corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Optional: spicy mayo or your favorite sauce for drizzling

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started with these simple steps:

Begin by rubbing the Ahi Tuna steaks with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Coat each side with sesame seeds to give it a delightful crunch.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the Ahi Tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side. You’re aiming for a nice, golden crust while keeping the center rare and tender.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. This will allow the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or directly on an open flame for a few seconds on each side.
Slice the seared Ahi Tuna into thin strips. It’s time to assemble your tacos!
Place a few slices of Ahi Tuna in the center of each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, shredded red cabbage, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and drizzle your favorite sauce on top, if desired.

Now grab a taco, take a bite, and savor the incredible flavors. Enjoy this taste of the sea right in your kitchen, and don’t forget to share your creations with friends and family!
