This is a great refreshing apetizer for a hot summer day.
1lb fresh sushi grade ahi tuna
1lb smoked Watermelon (see below Cold smoked)
1 avocado peeled and sliced
1Tbsp sesame oil
Fresh Cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish
12 Store bought mini taco shells
Directions: To smoke watermelon heat smoker to 90 degrees(don't let get any hotter) I like to use hickory chips with coal for this and place watermelon slices(leave the rind on for smoking cutoff and discard after) in smoker for 4-6 hours depending on preference.
Dice raw tuna into 1/4" dice and put into bowl and combine with sesame oil, Then take watermelon and cutoff rinds and chop rest into 1/4" dice as well.
Take taco shells and layer tuna in bottom then watermelon then top with avocado slices. Finish by sprinkling with fresh chopped cilantro and sesame seeds, serve immediatly. Goes great with a cold margarita on a hot summer day. Enjoy!
