If you love sushi and Mexican food, you’re in for a treat today! Tuna Tartare Tacos are an instant hit with nearly every crowd. I used to think that these tasty treats could be enjoyed only at fancy cocktail parties. But then I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Josh Capon, owner of my favorite NYC seafood spot, Lure Fish Bar, and he totally changed my mind. Chef Capon shared his delicious recipe for these yummy tacos that you can easily replicate in your kitchen.
Those who aren’t big fans of fish often enjoy tuna because it has a mild flavor, making it the perfect protein to pair with bold tastes and spicy accompaniments. The key to this dish is starting with the highest-quality sushi-grade tuna you can find. This fish isn’t cheap, so to save money, I recommend serving this dish as an appetizer instead of a main.
The crunchy taco shells and creamy guac pair perfectly with the soft tuna and crisp bites of cucumber. Cilantro is a common ingredient in Asian and Latin dishes, and the combination of ginger, soy sauce, and garlic chili complements the guacamole quite well. For this recipe, I recommend taking the extra step and making your own taco shells. Tuna of this quality deserves a step up from store-bought shells.
Try this recipe at your next party or special occasion. Trust me—your guests will be asking for more!
