Tuna Tacos with a Spicy Wasabi Crema

Print Recipe
Servings 6 Tacos

Ingredients

The tuna:

  • 1 Sushi grade tuna steak 1/2 pound per person
  • 1 Cup Sesame seeds
  • A few tbsp of soy sauce
  • Oil for frying (I like avocado oil or another light oil)

Wasabi Crema:

  • 3/4 Cup Sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Wasabi sauce
  • 1/2 Lime
  • 1 tsp Furikake

The rest:

  • 6 Mini tortillas
  • 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Cup Pineapple
  • Handful of cilantro
  • Furikake for topping
  • 1 Jalapeño

Instructions

  • Wash and pat dry tuna. Coat in a layer of soy sauce. Add sesame seeds to a shallow bowl in an even layer. Coat all sides of the tuna.
  • Get a skillet ripping hot and turn on fan as it will get a little smoky (don’t worry, it’s quick). Once oil is hot, add tuna and let sear for 1-3 min (depending on how thick your steak is). Flip and repeat on other side. Transfer to a cutting board and when cool enough to touch, slice into pieces.
  • Make wasabi crema by combining in a bowl and mixing until smooth. Season to taste. Combine sriracha and soy sauce together and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and heat tortillas until they are warm, about 5 min.
  • Slice avocado and jalapeño, and cube pineapple. Add crema to each tortilla, followed by a few pieces of tuna. Add your other fixins and top with sriracha soy, furikake and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
