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.

I'm not usually a fan of fish tacos, but these are amazing! The ahi is cooked perfectly and the avocado salsa is so flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover ahi. I usually make a big batch of avocado salsa and then I can use it for tacos, burritos, or even just as a dip.

I'm not a fan of avocado, so I omitted the avocado salsa from this recipe. The tacos were still very good.

I had a hard time finding ahi steaks at my local grocery store, so I used tuna steaks instead. They worked just as well.

These tacos were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less jalapeño next time.
