Ingredients

Ahi Tuna + Ginger Soy Sauce:
  • 2 ahi tuna steaks (~4 oz each)
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (use gluten-free certified if needed), use low-sodium soy sauce if desired
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or shaved ginger)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi OR 1 tsp horseradish and ½ tsp crushed mustard seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 green onions, sliced, plus more for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ lemon, juiced
Spicy Yogurt Sauce:
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • ½ lemon, juiced (use less juice if your yogurt is watery)
Cole Slaw:
  • ¼ cup shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup carrots, thinly sliced (or ribboned with a vegetable peeler)
Other Burrito Ingredients:
  • 4 10" flour tortillas* (See Recipe Notes)
  • 4 large lettuce leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, wasabi (or horseradish and mustard seeds), sugar, and green onion. Taste sauce, adjust seasoning if necessary (adding more soy, sugar, ginger etc if preferred). Marinate tuna steaks in blended sauce for about 10 minutes. 
  2. While tuna is marinating, prepare your wraps.  
  3. First, mix together the yogurt and cayenne (adding spice to taste).  Set sauce aside. 
  4. Toss cabbage and carrots together, and set aside.
  5. Heat flour tortillas for 10 seconds in a microwave.  
  6. Assemble the wraps-- For each wrap, start with the tortilla, then add one piece of lettuce, then ¼ the cole slaw, and ¼ the yogurt sauce.
  7. Next, sear the tuna.  Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan (like a cast iron pan) on high, until oil is very hot.  Reserving marinade for later, remove steaks from marinade, and sprinkle both sides of the tuna with sesame seeds.  
  8. Sear tuna for 15-30 seconds per side, then remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium and allow pan to cool slightly. Add marinade to pan with lemon juice, and stir with a wooden spoon. Allow sauce to thicken, and then spoon ¼ sauce over each wrap. Add any remaining green onion if desired.
  9. Cut the tuna steaks into long thin strips, and then divide among the wraps.  Roll the wraps and fold the ends in.  Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *Tortilla Size: This recipe calls for 4 10" flour tortillas.  If you'd prefer, you could use 2 larger tortillas and make jumbo burritos, or about 6 smaller tortillas and turn this into a taco recipe.
  • For gluten-free preparation: Use gluten-free certified tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
