Ahi Tuna Tacos Recipe
Ahi Tuna Tacos - a light and refreshing tuna tacos recipe with mango pineapple salsa! Healthy and delicious!
Ingredients
Mango Pineapple Salsa
- 1 1/2 cup pineapple diced
- 1 1/2 cups mango diced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- optional 1 small jalapeno, diced
- optional 1 avocado, diced (more if you want)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt more if desired
Ahi Tuna Tacos
- 1- inch thick tuna steak
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- street taco tortillas
- fresh cilantro chopped
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Make salsa: combine Mango Pineapple Salsa ingredients together in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Cook tuna steak: Place tuna steak on a plate and sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds per side. Pat seasoning into each side to make sure they stick. Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and drizzle in the oil. When oil just starts to smoke, place tuna steaks in hot skillet. Cook for 30-45 seconds per side (or up to 1 minute if you just barely want it rare in the middle). Remove and let the tuna rest on clean plate for 5 minutes.
- Assemble tacos: cut tuna into bite-sized chucks. Take the street taco tortillas and add some salsa and pieces of tuna. Top with fresh cilantro and another squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
- Make ahead: feel free to make the salsa ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Extra: you might have extra salsa, depending upon how many people you are serving - simply save the rest or serve with tortilla chips!
