Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper imparting a subtle and warming spiciness that complements the other flavors in the dish.
- 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice lending a bright and tangy acidity that balances the richness of the tuna and adds a refreshing zing.
- 1/4 cup of diced tomato salsa providing a burst of fresh and vibrant flavors, including the sweetness of tomatoes and the tanginess of herbs and spices, creating a harmonious contrast to the tuna's delicate taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients and bringing out the savory notes of the tuna.
- 1/2 pound of ahi tuna cut into 1-inch cubes, providing a fresh and delicate seafood flavor that is both tender and succulent.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil adding a smooth and fruity richness that enhances the natural flavors of the tuna.
- 1/2 avocado diced, offering a creamy and buttery texture that adds richness and a velvety mouthfeel to the tuna.
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your ingredients: Slice the ahi tuna into bite-sized pieces, dice the avocado, and measure out all of your other necessary elements.
- Next, heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat and add your well-seasoned tuna. Sear each side for two minutes or until it is lightly browned.
- Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the tuna for an extra burst of flavor. Then combine all of the ingredients together and let simmer for a minute more.
- At last, incorporate your diced avocado and tomato salsa into the mixture in the pan. Stir everything together until it is evenly blended and serve alongside tortilla chips or crackers for a delicious appetizer.
Notes
- If you don’t have any avocados on hand, use some diced cucumber instead. It will still give the same crunchy texture to the dish.
- This is easily customizable to your taste! Feel free to add or subtract any ingredients that you like or dislike.
- If you want to make this dish a bit spicier, add some diced jalapeños or chili flakes.
- This dish tastes even better when served with freshly made guacamole!
- To make a vegan version of this dish, substitute the tuna with chickpeas and add your favorite seasonings.
- If you don’t have any tortilla chips or crackers on hand, serve the ahi tuna with some freshly toasted bread.
