Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Combine the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub over the tuna steaks and let stand for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the avocado, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and puree.

Preheat a ridged grill pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Add the tuna and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well marked and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board. Thinly slice the tuna.

Heat tortillas over a gas burner, turning occasionally, about 1 minute, or place the tortillas between clean paper towels and microwave on high for 15 to 20 seconds to warm. Fill the tortillas with sliced tuna and onion and top with the cilantro-avocado cream.
