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 use sushi grade tuna for this dish, which is easily found in small frozen “bricks” at Whole Foods or similar stores.
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili oil
The topping…
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
Other Ingredients…
½ lb. sushi grade raw tuna, chopped into ¼-inch cubes
Tortilla chips
Finely chopped scallions
Combine the topping ingredients in a bowl, and place it in the fridge. Mix the marinade ingredients in a separate bowl. Chop the tuna into ¼-inch cubes, and marinate it in the soy/oil mix for just 10 minutes, then drain. (It will be really salty if you let marinate any longer.) Keep it cold!
Just before serving, take a tortilla chip, place 1 tablespoon of the tuna on top, top this with ½ teaspoon of the sour cream mixture, and then garnish with the finely chopped scallions.
Serve them immediately, and eat these quickly, before the tuna makes the tortilla soggy!
