Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ahi tuna steak
• 4 pieces Corn tostada shells
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 1 whole Jalapeño
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely dicing the red onion and jalapeño. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the cilantro. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, juice from half the lime, and mash until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch. Ensure even sizing for consistent marination and taste.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, and the juice from the remaining lime half. Whisk to create a marinade.

Step 5

Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the tuna is marinating, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, quickly sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the outer edges are just cooked, but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat immediately.

Step 7

To assemble, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each tostada shell. Top with a spoonful of seared tuna.

Step 8

Garnish with a mixture of cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
