tuna steak tacos

A fresh take on one of my favorite meats. A bit tex-mexy, but so yummy that I pretend it's authentic.


TUNA STEAK TACOS

2 small tuna steaks
6 corn tortillas
olive oil
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup fresh salsa (like Jack's)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 small onion, chopped
3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
3/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Drizzle olive oil over tuna steaks then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on medium heat until they're cooked all the way through. Let them cool slightly then cut into slices.

While the tuna is on the grill, barely cover the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil. Place the tortillas in the oil, one by one, and allow them to slightly brown on each side. You want them to stay soft - don't let them get crunchy like a chip. Place them to dry on doubled paper towels.

To assemble the tacos: place shredded cheese directly onto the tacos, heat under the broiler or in the microwave until cheese is melted. Cover the cheese with shredded lettuce, sliced tuna, salsa, sour cream, chopped onions & cilantro.
