Crispy Tuna Tacos Ingredients

Method

Crispy Tuna Tacos Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Season the ahi tuna with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy but rare in the center. Remove from heat and let rest before dicing.

  2. 2

    Make the Avocado Crema

    In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    In a pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy, about 30 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each crispy tortilla with diced ahi tuna, top with sliced radishes, and drizzle with ponzu dressing. Finish with a dollop of avocado crema.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra radishes and a lime wedge if desired.
