Tuna Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Rub the fresh tuna steaks with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Lime Green Salsa

    In a bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Jicama Chips

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and thinly slice the jicama into chips. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy.

  5. 5

    Marinate the Red Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and soak in lime juice for at least 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the seared tuna into strips. Take a romaine leaf, add tuna, marinated red onions, and a spoonful of lime green salsa. Top with jicama chips for crunch.
