Ingredients
1 1/2 to 2/3-pound tuna steak
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
Kosher salt
1 1/2 Hass avocadoes, diced
6 small or 4 large vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 to 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to the highest heat. Season all sides of the tuna with the spices and salt. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and rub the oil and spices all over the tuna. Sear on the grill 1 minute on each side. Set aside to rest. Dice or slice all the vegetables and herbs for the salsa and put them in a bowl. Add the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season well with salt. Dice the seared tuna the same size as the avocado and tomatoes, and add. Taste the salsa; it should be well salted and a bit acidic. Add the juice of up to 1/2 lemon to achieve the desired acidity. Serve with a ton of tortilla chips.
