  • 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 x taco shell, (availbale at most grocery stores)

  •     Avocado Salsa
  • 2 x ripe avocado, pit and skin discarded

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.
