Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ahi dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Spread sesame seeds on a small plate. Press both sides of ahi into sesame seeds until coated.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

    Sear ahi 90 seconds per side without moving. Center should remain rare; edges look opaque.

  5. Step 5

    Slice avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop onto the two tostadas. Slice ahi into strips.

  6. Step 6

    Top each tostada with ahi strips and halved cherry tomatoes. Squeeze lime over top; serve immediately.
