Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Ahi Tuna

Coat the ahi tuna steaks with sesame seeds on all sides, pressing them gently to adhere.

2

Sear the Tuna

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the tuna is rare in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest.

3

Prepare the Toppings

While the tuna is resting, dice the avocado, mango, jalapeno, and red onion. Chop the cilantro finely.

4

Assemble the Dish

On each tostada, layer the diced avocado, mango, jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro. Slice the tuna into thin strips and place on top.

5

Serve

Drizzle soy sauce over the assembled tostadas before serving.
