Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Tuna Tartare Tostada with Chipotle Mayonnaise:

  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna, finely diced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

  • 4 tostada shells

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (depending on desired spiciness)

  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, pickled red onion, cilantro leaves

Instructions

Prepare the Tuna Tartare:

  1. Dice the Tuna: Using a sharp knife, finely dice the sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform pieces.

  2. Combine the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lime juice.

  3. Marinate the Tuna: Add the diced tuna to the marinade and gently toss to coat.

  4. Add Green Onion and Sesame Seeds: Stir in the thinly sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds.

  5. Season to Taste: Season the tuna tartare with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Chipotle Mayonnaise:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, adobo sauce from the can, and lime juice.

  2. Mix Well: Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chipotle peppers are evenly distributed.

  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chipotle mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Add more minced chipotle pepper or adobo sauce if you prefer a spicier flavor. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble the Tostadas:

  1. Prepare Tostada Shells: Ensure the tostada shells are crispy. If they are not crisp enough, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are heated through and crispy.

  2. Spread Chipotle Mayonnaise: Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayonnaise evenly over each tostada shell.

  3. Top with Tuna Tartare: Spoon the tuna tartare over the chipotle mayonnaise on each tostada, piling it high for an impressive presentation.

  4. Add Optional Toppings: Garnish the tuna tartare tostadas with your favorite toppings, such as avocado slices, pickled red onion, cilantro leaves, or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Serve:

  1. Serve Immediately: Serve the Tuna Tartare Tostada with Chipotle Mayonnaise immediately to enjoy the crispy tostada and fresh tuna tartare at their best.
