Delicious Japanese-Inspired Spicy Tuna Tartare Tacos that combine fresh ingredients for a flavorful experience.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna, finely chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon spicy chili sauce (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chopped scallions
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped tuna and avocado.
  2. Drizzle in the tamari, sesame oil, and spicy chili sauce, then add the grated ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds.
  3. Carefully fold the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed, taking care not to mash the avocado too much.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they become soft and flexible.
  5. To create your tacos, lay a small handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, then top with a generous scoop of the spicy tuna and avocado mixture.
  6. Serve the tacos right away, accompanied by lime wedges for a zesty squeeze on top.

Notes

  • For an added crunch, consider mixing in diced cucumbers or radishes with the tuna.
  • For a lighter option, swap out the corn tortillas for fresh lettuce leaves.
