Ahi Tuna Tacos with Avocado Salsa (Boom) Preparation
For salsa:
Combine all ingredients without mashing avocado.
For Tacos:
In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and coriander. Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
Dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
Spoon tuna over salsa into tortillas and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop.
Serve immediately.
