TUNA TARTARE

HOUSE-MADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Method

TUNA TARTARE

1

Prep the tuna

Place the tuna in a chilled mixing bowl and dice into small 1/8-inch pieces.

2

Make flavor base

In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice until smooth.

3

Add aromatics

Add minced shallot and chopped chives to the tuna; pour in the soy-lime mixture and toss gently to combine.

4

Incorporate avocado and season

Fold in the avocado gently. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting lime or soy if needed.

5

Plate

Spoon the finished tartare onto serving plates or into small rings for a neat presentation.

HOUSE-MADE TORTILLA CHIPS

6

Prep and preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment.

7

Cut tortillas

Stack the corn tortillas and cut into triangles (about 6 tortillas yields a generous amount).

8

Oil and season

Toss the triangles with oil to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and chili powder.

9

Bake until crisp

Bake 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are golden and chips are crisp.

10

Cool and serve

Remove from oven and let chips cool on a rack. Serve alongside the tuna tartare.
