How to Make Seared Tuna & Avocado Rolls

1. Sear the Tuna

Preheat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Brush the tuna slices with olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear the tuna for 1 minute on each side, then dice into ½ to ¾-inch pieces.

2. Prepare Tuna Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the diced tuna, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, and Tabasco sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the minced scallions and jalapeño. Dice the avocado and gently stir into the tuna mixture. Let it sit for 20 minutes.

3. Pickle the Shallots

Mix the thinly sliced shallot with red wine vinegar in a small bowl to lightly pickle.

4. Toast the Buns

Melt the butter in a sauté pan and toast the hot dog buns until golden and crisp, about 1 minute on each side.

5. Assemble the Rolls

Fill each toasted bun with the tuna mixture, top with chipotle mayonnaise and pickled shallots, and serve immediately.
