Whenever I serve these tuna tacos to friends, I always get requests for the recipe. It requires a bit of setting up, but you can put it together right before serving to your guests…or yourself.
I prefer to use sushi grade tuna for this dish, which is easily found in small frozen “bricks” at Whole Foods or similar stores.
SPICY SOY MARINATED TUNA ON TACO CHIPS
Finely chopped scallions
Make the Topping in a bowl first, and place in the fridge. Mix marinade ingredients in a separate bowl. Chop tuna into ¼-inch cubes, and marinate in soy/oil mix for just 10 minutes, then drain. Keep cold!
Just before serving, take a tortilla chip, place 1 Tablespoon of tuna on top, top this with ½ teaspoon sour cream mixture, and garnish with chopped scallions.
Eat these quickly, before the tuna makes the tortilla soggy!
Do you have to know a fish monger to get sushi grade raw tuna? I’d love to try this recipe, but the tuna will be my downfall.

As I mentioned, most of the time I get my tuna at whole foods. They have frozen bricks of sushi grade tuna in their freezers. If you don’t have a whole foods near you, I’m sure some other high-end stores would have it. But even so called average tuna, if it’s fresh, would probably work, since you are marinating it in so I, which is a strong taste.
