Marinated Ahi Tuna

  • 12 ounces ahi tuna - cubed
  • 1 orange - juiced
  • 1 lemon - juiced
  • 2 limes - juiced
  • 2 teaspoons adobo sauce - from canned chipotles

Air Fryer Tortillas

  • 8 street taco sized corn tortillas
  • cooking spray - or olive oil for brushing
  • sea salt

Chipotle Avocado Crema

  • 1 medium avocado - peeled, pitted, and mashed
  • 1 tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt

  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Garnishes

  • quick pickled onions - see Notes below
  • radishes - thin-sliced

Instructions

Chipotle Citrus Ahi Tuna

  • Cut ahi tuna in ½" cubes. Whisk citrus juices, adobo, and salt together, and pour over the tuna. Marinate 20 minutes to an hour.

Prepare the Tortillas

  • Set air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spray both sides with cooking spray (or brush lightly with oil). Sprinkle with salt if desired.
  • Air fry until the tortillas start to brown, flipping halfway through (5-7 minutes). Set aside.

Prepare the Garnishes

  • Cut lime wedges, slice radishes, chop cilantro, etc. as desired

Make the Chipotle Avocado Crema

  • After peeling and pitting the avocado, add to a prep bowl with the Greek yogurt and chopped chipotles. Mash until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Tostadas

  • Spread avocado crema on the prepared tostada shells.
  • Top with the marinated tuna.
  • Garnish as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Quick Pickled Onions

I combine 1 cup of rice or white wine vinegar with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the microwave until completely dissolved - about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. After cooling completely, I pour it over 1 sliced red onion, and add a thinly-sliced seeded red jalapeño pepper. I like to soak them for an hour.
