Ingredients
- 1 pound sushi-grade tuna, very thinly sliced against the grainÂ
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil, dividedÂ
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminosÂ
- 1 small leek, white and light-green parts only, thinly slicedÂ
- 8 grain-free tortillas (I use Siete brand)Â
- Avocado oil sprayÂ
- 2 tablespoons cassava flourÂ
- SideDish Chipotle RanchÂ
- 1 avocado, cut into very thin stripsÂ
- Flaky saltÂ
- 1 lime, cut into wedges, for servingÂ
- Cilantro leaves, for garnishÂ
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Marinate the Fish:
- In a large shallow bowl, combine the tuna, 2 tablespoons of the avocado oil, and the coconut aminos. Set aside to let the fish marinate.
Wash the Leeks:
- Place the sliced leeks in a colander and run hot water over them until they are well rinsed. Place the leeks on paper towels and pat dry. Set aside.
Bake the Tortillas:
- Place the tortillas on the prepared sheet pans and mist the tops with avocado oil spray. Bake until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown on the edges, about 8 minutes.
Fry the Leeks:
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons avocado oil over medium-high heat. Place the dried leeks in a bowl and sprinkle with the cassava flour. Toss until the leeks are evenly coated. When the oil is hot, add half the leeks to the skillet in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crisp, tossing halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer the crispy leeks to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat for a second batch of leeks. You will likely need to clean the skillet and use fresh oil for the second batch to prevent burning.
Assemble the Tostadas:
Spread a thin layer of SideDish Chipotle Ranch on each crisp tortilla. Next, in this order, top with 3
- to 4 slices of the tuna, a few slices of avocado, some crispy leeks, and a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with cilantro
