Ran across this recipe years ago. Because I usually keep my recipes on line, it got lost in a paper file. Time to resurrect this gem!!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

FOR THE FISH:
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
12 oz fresh ahi or albacore tuna cut into several 2-3 inch chunks
1 Tbsp olive oil
8 soft corn or flour tortillas (street size if you have them)
2 limes, cut in wedges
AVOCADO SALSA:
2 ripe avocadoes, diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1/4 red onion, 1/4 inch dice
2 medium tomatoes, 1/4 inch dice
1/2 c lightly packed cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Add all salsa ingredients to a bowl. Mix gently - DO NOT MASH. Set aside.
  • 2. Spray a non-stick pan with Pam or similar. Heat to medium high. Add taco shells and toast, leaving in long enough to make some charred areas. You want some color on them but still flexible. Flip. Remove and set aside.
  • 3. Combine cumin, cayenne, coriander, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over tuna pieces.
  • 4. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. When very hot, add olive oil and swirl pan. Wait a few seconds for oil to heat up and then add tuna pieces. Sear 1-2 minutes. Flip. Sear another 1-2 minutes and remove at desired doneness to a plate.
  • 5. Dice tuna into 1/2 inch cubes.
  • 6. Place taco shells on plates. Divide ahi between shells and spoon salsa over the top. Squeeze a little lime juice over all. Serve with sour cream if desired.

I didn't like the ahi tacos at all. The fish was dry and the salsa was bland.

I thought the ahi tacos were just okay. The fish was a little overcooked.

The ahi tacos were a little too spicy for me, but they were still good.

These ahi tacos were a hit at my last party! The avocado salsa was the perfect complement to the grilled ahi.
