My friend Tobin is an avid fisherman in south Florida and he’ll often bring me fresh-caught tuna. There’s nothing like fresh tuna and a creamy and spicy dressing rolled up perfectly into a wrap for lunch. Various veggies bring some crunch and plenty of micronutrients.
Makes: 2 wraps
Serving size: 1 wrap
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
10oz (285g) ahi tuna steak
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds, divided
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp sesame oil, divided
1⁄4 cup organic mayonnaise
1 tsp soy sauce
3⁄4 tsp sriracha
2 burrito-sized whole-wheat flour tortillas
2 cups mixed greens
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded cabbage
1⁄2 medium avocado, sliced thinly
DIRECTIONS
1 Dry the tuna with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1⁄2 tablespoon of sesame seeds evenly on both sides.
2 In a frying pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until shimmering. Add the tuna, sear for 45 seconds, flip, and sear for 45 seconds more. Remove the pan from the stovetop and allow the tuna to cool slightly.
3 In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sriracha, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
4 Slice the tuna into 1⁄4-inch (.5cm) pieces. Spread an equal amount of the mayonnaise mixture on each tortilla. Spread an equal amount of mixed greens on each tortilla. Place half the carrots down the middle of each tortilla and place half the cabbage on top of the carrots. Place an equal amount of tuna, avocado, and the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon of sesame seeds on top of each tortilla.
5 Wrap the tortillas like burritos, cut in half, and serve immediately.
