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

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F for the taco shells.

  • To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
