Ahi Tuna Tacos with Mango Salsa
Make quick and easy Ahi Tuna Tacos with an incredibly fresh and delicious mango pineapple salsa for dinner tonight in less than 20 minutes!
Ingredients
Mango Pineapple Salsa:
- 1 ½ cups pineapple diced
- 1 ½ cups mango diced
- ½ red onion diced
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeño diced (optional)
- 1 avocado diced (optional or add more, if you want)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt more, if desired
Ahi Tuna Tacos:
- 1 tuna steak 1-inch thick
- 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: In a large bowl, add all of the mango salsa ingredients. Mix to combine and set aside.
- Cook tuna steak: Place 1 tuna steak on a plate and sprinkle each 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 with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive 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 a 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 Salsa: you might have extra salsa, depending upon how many people you are serving - simply save the rest or serve with tortilla chips!
- Gluten-Free: use your favorite gluten-free tortillas.
