Tuna Tataki Nachos


Sharing is caring!

Y’all…I made one of the best things ever.

AND I was challenged to do it.

A food blogger friend of mine, Adam from Unorthodox Epicure and I decided to have a foodie competition. We exchanged criteria to meet and agreed on a post date.

The premise: Nachos.

I gave him the challenge of using these three ingredients (but not limited to): tahini, seafood and bleu cheese. He gave me the challenge of making nachos from three regions: Texas, China and Italy. Um… somehow he thought he got the short end of the stick. I really don’t think that was necessarily the case. (He just wanted to whine).

Nevertheless, I did make some badass nachos.

These are homemade seasoned flour tortilla chips topped with seared Ahi tuna, mango-jalapeno salsa, drizzled with avocado wasabi cream, and garnished with fresh Arugula. My husband declared them restaurant worthy.

At one point I think he mentioned something about marrying them….

They’re definitely outstanding. I made them four times in the last week.

    You definately rose to the challenge with these nachos! These look beautiful and sound dang delicious! I’m pretty sure after one bite I’d like to marry them too. Besides- they don’t give you lip or make you want to pull your hair out strand by strand 🙂 (kidding, I love my hubs. Most of the time. Lol). But in all seriousness- these are some stellar nachos! Can’t wait to try them! ♡ Cheers
