Recipe: Spicy Ahi Tuna Tostadas
Makes 6 tostadas

• ¼ cup good-quality mayonnaise
• 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• ½ teaspoon (or more) pure powdered chipotle chile
• 2 to 3 tablespoons finely grated ginger
• Salt
• ¾ pound sashimi-quality ahi (yellowfin) tuna fillet
• ½ medium seedless cucumber
• ½ large Honeycrisp apple, cored
• The juice of a large lime
• 6 tostadas (crisp-fried corn tortillas)
• Flaked sea salt for garnish
• Cilantro leaves for garnish

In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise and single canned chile. Pulse to combine, then process until thoroughly blended.

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, powdered chipotle and ginger.

With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into small dice—I like ¼-inch cubes—and scoop into a bowl. Finely dice the cucumber and the apple to the same size as tuna. Combine with the olive oil mixture and season with salt, usually about a generous ½ teaspoon. Refrigerate for about ½ hour for the flavors to mingle.

Just before serving, stir the lime juice into the tuna mixture and taste. Adjust with more lime and salt if you think necessary. Smear a portion of the mayonnaise on each tostada, pile on a portion of the tuna mixture, sprinkle with flaked salt and decorate with cilantro leaves.

This contemporary culinary experience is sure to please friends, family and food lovers alike.
