Ingredients
  

Tostadas
  • 8 Tostadas, store-bought or homemade
Tuna Tartare Ingredients
  • 1 lb Fresh Tuna, sushi-grade, finely diced Ensure it's fresh and sushi-grade.
  • 2 stalks Green Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Avocado, diced
  • 1 small Cucumber, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, make sure it’s Halal-certified
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1-2 tsp Sriracha, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Chipotle Mayo (combine 1/2 cup mayo with 1-2 tsp of chipotle sauce) Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped (optional) Optional for garnish.
  • 1 Lime, juiced (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you’re using store-bought tostadas, simply set them on a platter. If you prefer homemade, bake corn tortillas until crispy in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh tuna, finely chopped green onions, diced cucumber, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha. Gently mix everything together to retain the texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and chipotle sauce to your desired level of spice.
Assembly
  1. Spoon the tuna mixture onto each tostada, allowing it to reach the edges.
  2. Gently place diced avocado on top and drizzle with chipotle mayo. Add optional cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.
Serving
  1. Present on a beautiful platter for family gatherings. Enjoy the blend of creaminess, spice, and crunch.

Notes

Serve these tostadas immediately after assembling for the best texture; the longer they sit, the soggier they get. If you have leftovers, store components separately to maintain crispiness.
