2 to 3 cups vegetable oil
Eight 4-inch corn tortillas
12 to 16 ounces number 1 grade ahi tuna
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 shallot, finely minced
1 lime, cut into supremes (see Cook's Note), juice reserved

MEXICAN TUNA-AVOCADO TOSTADAS



Mexican Tuna-Avocado Tostadas image

Because it's one of our favorite healthy convenience foods for a quick lunch (or dinner), we've taken canned tuna -- high in protein and Omega-3s -- beyond the classic mayo-laced sandwich salad. Here, rich avocado is swapped in for an easy salad that takes canned tuna to the next level.

SEARED AHI TUNA AND AVOCADO TARTARE



Seared Ahi Tuna and Avocado Tartare image

Michael Shrader of Nine Restaurant Group in Palm Springs, Florida, writes: "Both sides of my family cooked a lot when I was growing up, so I've had plenty of inspiration to draw on as a chef. From my mother's Sicilian heritage, I learned about homemade pasta, braised meats, and biscotti-before they became fashionable. My dad is part German, and he was known for his talents working the grill. On my days off from the restaurant, I cook for my wife at home. We tend to eat light, and I cook with foods that are in season since I've never been one for complicated dishes. It's just not my style. I'd rather have sliced tomatoes with a good olive oil or pasta with vegetables than something fussy." A sophisticated, fresh, and spicy dip for tortilla chips or baguette rounds.
