Ingredients

Tortillas:

Canola oil, for frying
4 flour tortillas, cut into 2-inch by 1-inch rectangles
Kosher salt

Avocado Butter:

1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tartare:

12 ounces sushi grade tuna, finely diced
2 tablespoons mustard oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon chipotle pepper puree (from chipotles in adobo sauce)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup finely sliced green onion
1 ripe Hass avocado, peeled, pitted, and finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

For the tortillas: Heat the oil in a heavy, high-sided pan to 350 degrees F. Fry the tortilla pieces a few at a time until lightly golden brown and crisp. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt.

For the avocado butter: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

For the tartare: Combine tuna, mustard oil, olive oil, capers, chipotle, cilantro, and green onion in a large bowl. Gently fold in the avocado and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Place each of the fried tortilla pieces on a plate and spread with a small dollop of the avocado butter. Top the butter with some of the tuna tartare. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

mustard oil secret
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I asked Bobby Flay about the mustard oil at a book signing. He said he whirls some grey poupon mustard with canola oil to... make it. Before I had the answer I just used some grey poupon mustard straight. Really good recipe that I used as a first course..Read more

Worth the effort
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A somewhat time-consuming appetizer, but the result is worth the effort - got rave reviews as a first course for a New Year's... Eve party (served with tequila cosmopolitans). Didn't have mustard oil, and substituted lemon pepper oil - tasted great.Read more

Delicious appetizer!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was easy to make though finding mustard oil was not worth the effort. The recipe didn't seem like it missed anything... without it!Read more

AMAZING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A real crowd pleaser. Though the mustard oil is difficult to find, it's well worth the effort. The dish has a great kick... from the chipotle, but is nicely balanced by the smooth, buttery avocado. Will definitely make again!Read more

One of the best Tuna recipes I have ever had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had seen this recipe on "Let Foodnetwork cater your wedding" and I was very eager to try it. I was NOT disappointed! This... is one of the best tuna recipes I have ever tried- it has a nice kick of heat from the chipotles, and refreshing bite from the avacado butter. This is one that I'll keep on making.Read more
