Step 1
Pat ahi tuna dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Sear tuna 90 seconds per side without moving.
Step 3
Transfer tuna to a cutting board. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Step 4
Halve the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Step 5
Arrange tostadas on a plate. Layer avocado slices, then seared tuna strips on each one.
Step 6
Drizzle salsa roja and salsa macha over the tops. Serve immediately while tuna is still warm.
