How to Make Thetis Queen Albacore Tuna Tacones With Spicy Spot P

  1. Lightly oil one side of each of 6 large flour tortillas.
  2. Thinly shred 1 small head of cabbage and mix with ½ cup pumpkin seeds, ½ cup spicy spot prawn mayo (recipe #387362), and ¼ of the spice mix (see note below).
  3. Oil a 1-pound albacore tuna loin and season generously with the remaining spice mix (adjust to taste).
  4. In a large, very hot pan or on a very hot BBQ, sear tuna on all sides for 30 seconds per side. Remove and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. In the same hot pan or on the BBQ, lightly grill tortillas for 30 seconds per side, or until lightly browned and warmed through.
  6. Line the grilled tortillas up evenly and slice each in half lengthwise.
  7. Position each tortilla semicircle with the straight side at a 45-degree angle.
  8. Slice the rested tuna loin into ¼-inch thick slices. Place 3 slices on the middle of each tortilla.
  9. Add ¼ cup of the cabbage mixture, 3-4 pea shoots, and 1 heaping tablespoon of finely chopped red onion on top of the tuna slices.
  10. Take the bottom corner of the tortilla to the top and pull back over the filling, leaving you with a cone-shaped taco (tacone).
  11. Serve immediately with extra spicy spot prawn mayo.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
