Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat tuna dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear tuna 30 seconds per side without moving—exterior should brown; center stays raw.

  4. Step 4

    Slice avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop onto tostadas. Season with a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    Slice seared tuna into 1/4-inch strips and fan over avocado on each tostada.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over top, drizzle with soy sauce, squeeze lime, and serve immediately.
