Tuna Tostadas with Casa Bonita Foods and Tajin

We continue collaborating with different cuisine enthusiasts and chefs, and now it’s time for recipes with our friend Kyle Crawford @homechefkyle. The first collaboration of this series of recipes using Casa Bonita Foods and Tajin is a delicious and quick recipe for preparing tuna tostadas.

We are excited that our friend will show you a simple and easy way to make tostadas at home using Casa Bonita Tortillas in this recipe.

Ingredients:

• ½ of a red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 ½ cup hot water
• 1 ½ cup vinegar
• ½ cup mayo
• ¼ cup Tajin fruity chamoy chili sauce
• 6-8 ounces of yellowfin tuna
• ¼ cup black sesame seeds
• 4 Casa Bonita yellow corn tortillas
• 2 cups of vegetable oil
• 1 avocado, sliced 
• 2 radishes, thinly sliced
• Cilantro

Method

Start by pickling some onions. Add red onions, sugar, salt, hot water and vinegar to a jar. Cover and set aside. These take about 30 minutes. After that leave them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Combine mayo and Tajin fruity chamoy chili sauce to make an aioli.

Coat tuna in black sesame seeds and season lightly with salt. 

Heat a small pan over medium high heat with a little bit of oil. Lay tuna into the pan and cook on each side for 1-2 minutes or until the exterior is seared. Remove from pan, slice, and set aside

In a separate small pan, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. 

Test to see if the oil is hot enough by dipping the corner of the tortilla in, if it bubbles, it’s ready to go. Fry the tortillas for 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel to dry.

Build your Tostada by stacking avocado, tuna, aioli, radishes, pickled onion and cilantro on top of the fried tortilla.
