Seared Ahi Taco With Avocado Salsa

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 12 ounces ahi or 12 ounces albacore tuna, cut into 1 inch steaks
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 taco shells
• 2 limes, halved
• Avocado Salsa
• 2 ripe avocados, pit and skin discarded
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced, into 1/4 inch cubes
• 1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, leaves, coarsely, chopped, stems discarded before before measuring
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
2. Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F for the taco shells.
4. Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
5. Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 minutes (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
6. While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
7. To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
8. Avocado Salsa:tvocado is just ripe if it indents with the firm press of a finger.
9. Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. DO NOT MASH AVOCADO.
