Seviche:

Salsa:

Condiments:

Directions

  1. To prepare the seviche, in a medium-sized bowl combine the tuna, lime juice, lemon juice, serrano pepper, and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Make sure the ingredients cover the tuna, and let it stand for 1 hour, occasionally folding ingredients with a rubber spatula. 
  2. To begin the salsa, combine the watermelon, avocado, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, lime, peppers, salt, pepper, oil, and tequila in a medium-sized bowl. Toss all ingredients together gently. Let it stand for 30 minutes. 
  3. To warm the tortillas, season a hot grill or non-stick pan with a touch of oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper (to season the grill, take a thick cloth pour tablespoon of vegetable oil on cloth and rub cloth on grill, then sprinkle grills with salt and pepper). Put the tortillas on the grill until they are warmed through on both sides. 
  4. To plate, spoon 2 tablespoons of the tuna on the tortilla, followed by 1 tablespoon of salsa, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and lettuce and caramelized onions.
