Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds (use all white if you don't have black)
salt & pepper
oil of choice
2 cups slaw mix (shredded green and red cabbage and carrots)
1 tbsp garlic ginger paste (or fresh minced garlic and ginger)
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup mayo
salt & pepper (to taste)
10 taco size (8 inch) flour tortillas
ahi tuna
garlic-ginger slaw (*see recipe notes below)
fresh chopped mango
wasabi sauce (**see recipe notes below)
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Pat dry tuna steak and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a pan over medium heat and add drizzle of oil.
  • Mix black and white sesame seeds and sprinkle half of mix on one side of steak. Press the seeds onto the steak so they stick. Do the same with the other side.
  • Once pan and oil are hot place the steak on pan and sear for 2-3 minutes. You want to just barely see the bottom of the steak cooked. If you prefer your tuna more cooked, leave on for additional 1-2 minutes. Flip steak over and sear another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove steak from pan and thinly slice into strips.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat tortilla by preferred method. You can use a skillet or pan that has been over medium-high heat and when skillet is very hot, add tortilla to heat through for 30 seconds-1 minute depending on the heat level of your stove. Flip halfway through.
  • Assemble tacos by adding tuna strips to tortillas and topping with slaw, mango, and wasabi sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!
