Method

Tuna Tartare Preparation

Prepare the Tuna

Dice the fresh tuna fillet into small, uniform cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Add Flavorings

In the bowl with tuna, add sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, finely chopped green onion, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and season with salt and lime juice to taste. Set aside.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

Prepare the Tortillas

Cut each corn tortilla into six wedges to form chips.

Fry the Chips

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla wedges in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season the Chips

While the chips are still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Assembly

Serve

On a serving plate, layer the mashed avocado and top with the tuna mixture. Serve with the house-made tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
