    Directions

    1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
    2. Rub spice mix generously on both sides of the tuna.
    3. Preheat oven to 350 F for the taco shells.
    4. Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking warm, add in extra virgin olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add in tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or possibly till fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
    5. Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 min (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
    6. While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
    7. To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
    8. Avocado Salsa:Avocado: just-ripe = indents with the hard press of a finger Add in all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. Don't MASH AVOCADO.
