Directions

To prepare the basting sauce and dressing in a bowl combine soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, chili sauce and lemon juice.

Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to another bowl and set aside for basting.

To prepare the salsa, combine and mix mango, avocado, red onion, lemon or lime juice, olive oil and pickled ginger in a bowl.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a large bowl gently toss sliced carrot, radish, cucumber and sprouts. Pour over remaining basting sauce/dressing, toss, garnish with cilantro and basil, season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.

Preheat grill to high (about 450-500°F) and oven to 350°F.

Put taco shells on the “Taco Rack” and place on a cook sheet.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven for seven minutes, after seven minutes take the shells out of the oven.

Combine black pepper, sesame seeds and kosher salt. Mix well and crust tuna steaks, on all sides, gently pressing the spices into the fish to adhere.

While the shells are in the oven grill tuna over direct heat for 1 to 2 minutes, per side, until just rare, basting with reserved 1/2 cup of dressing/basting liquid.

Remove from grill, cool slightly and slice each tuna steak into 4.

Take the shells out of the oven and one quarter of the watercress into the bottom of each taco shell.

Place a layer of salad into each taco and top with sliced grilled tuna. Garnish with salsa.

Serves 2-3…

Place a Taco Rack Solid Single Taco Holder on each place setting for serving and for hands free garnishing.
