1
Chop the Tuna
Using a sharp knife, finely dice the fresh Ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, mashed avocado, and sesame oil. Gently fold together until just mixed, being careful not to break down the avocado too much.

4
Mix the Spicy Mayo
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Adjust the spice level to taste by adding more Sriracha if desired.

5
Assemble the Tartare
Using a ring mold or a small bowl, layer the tuna avocado mixture into the mold, pressing down slightly to compact it. Carefully remove the mold to keep the shape.
6
Drizzle with Spicy Mayo
Drizzle the prepared spicy mayo over the top of the tartare.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle chopped chives and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
