Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fresh tuna steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
• 1 large (sliced) Avocado
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 2 pieces (juiced and zested) Lime
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon (optional) Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the tuna steaks.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish (adjust cooking time if you prefer more doneness). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

In another small bowl, prepare the lime crema by combining sour cream, the juice and zest of 1 lime, garlic powder, and hot sauce if using. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 5

Assemble the tacos by layering a few slices of seared tuna on each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of lime crema.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the second lime before serving.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and zesty tuna tacos!
