Tacones are a taco-cone or a tortilla handroll. I am newly addicted to this meal! The recipe comes from a Victoria restaurant. Ingredients:
5 (12 inch) flour tortillas |
9 -10 ounces tuna, loin troll caught |
1 small head of cabbage, thinly shredded |
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, roasted and ground |
2 thinly sliced red onions (that have been soaked in 4 ounces of lemon juice and 4 ounces of mirin for 2 hours) |
1/2 ounce pea shoots |
1 tablespoon sea salt |
1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper |
1 tablespoon toasted coriander powder |
1/2 tablespoon toasted ground cumin |
4 ounces olive oil |
1 cup spicy mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Lightly oil one side of each tortilla.
2. Thinly shred cabbage and mix with pumpkin seeds, spicy spot prawn mayo (Spicy Spot Prawn Mayo posted separately) and one quarter of the spice mix.
3. Oil the tuna loin and season with remaining spice mix.
4. In large very hot pan or very hot BBQ, sear tuna on all sides for 30 seconds per side and place on cutting board for slicing.
5. In large very hot pan or very hot BBQ, lightly grill tortillas.
6. Line grilled tortillas up evenly and slice in half.
7. Position semi circles of tortilla with straight side on a forty five degree angle.
8. Slice tuna loin in one quarter inch slices and place three slices on the middle of each tortilla.
9. Add one quarter cup of cabbage mixture, 3 or 4 pea shoots and one heaping table spoon of onions on top of tuna slices.
10. Take the bottom corner of tortilla to the top and pull back over mix leaving you with a cone shaped taco or tacone.
11. - Serve with Spicy Spot Prawn Mayo, Spicy Spot Prawn Mayo contains prawns, oil, hot sauce, mirin, lime juice, sea salt, and mayonnaise.
