Makes 6-8 tacos

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cooking time: no cooking here!

Ingredients

1 lb. sashimi-quality tuna fillet (some supermarkets offer frozen filets that can be used)

2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 c. fresh lime juice

2 tsp. soy sauce (I find low-sodium works best)

1-2 chili peppers to taste, minced (I prefer jalapeño, but serrano is excellent if you like it really spicy)

1 ripe Haas avocado, peeled and cut into 1/4” cubes

1/3 c. loosely packed coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 small red onion, finely diced

6-8 crunchy taco shells (or, you can use soft tortillas if you prefer)

Directions

1. Cut the tuna into 1/4” pieces and place in a bowl.

2. Add everything except the avocado and stir to combine.

3. Add the avocado and gently stir to incorporate. Try to avoid smushing the avocado. :)

4. Spoon into the taco shells or tortillas and serve.

* If you prefer a tangier mixture, increase to 1/3 cup of fresh lime juice.

** If you prefer a less-spicy mixture, remove the seeds and white ribs of the chili pepper before cutting it.
