Chipotle Ranch Tuna Tostadas with Crispy Leeks

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna, very thinly sliced against the grainΒ 
  • 4 tablespoons avocado oil, dividedΒ 
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminosΒ 
  • 1 small leek, white and light-green parts only, thinly slicedΒ 
  • 8 grain-free tortillas (I use Siete brand)Β 
  • Avocado oil sprayΒ 
  • 2 tablespoons cassava flourΒ 
  • SideDish Chipotle RanchΒ 
  • 1 avocado, cut into very thin stripsΒ 
  • Flaky saltΒ 
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, for servingΒ 
  • Cilantro leaves, for garnishΒ 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375Β°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

Marinate the Fish:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. Spread a thin layer of SideDish Chipotle Ranch on each crisp tortilla. Next, in this order, top with 3

  2. 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
