Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Sear tuna 90 seconds per side without moving.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer tuna to a cutting board. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

  4. Step 4

    Halve the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange tostadas on a plate. Layer avocado slices, then seared tuna strips on each one.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle salsa roja and salsa macha over the tops. Serve immediately while tuna is still warm.
