Ingredients
For the Ahi Tuna
- 1 pound sushi grade ahi tuna
- 1/3 cup white toasted sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
For the Grilled Avocados
- 3 California Avocados

Ginger Ponzu Dressing
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger

Instructions
- To begin, mix minced ginger, soy sauce, vinegar and ponzu in a bowl. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
- Cut your avocados in half and remove the pit. Peel completely and cut each half into another half (you should have 4 slices for 1 avocado) On a grill or grill pan, sear your avocados on medium-high heat with avocado oil until charred and grill marks form. Set aside and cool.
- Take your ahi tuna and add in a plate with sesame oil and then coat it in a plate of sesame seeds. Sear in a skillet or on a grill 20-30 seconds on each side until the outsides of the ahi are a lighter brown color, while keeping the ahi medium rare inside. Remove from the skillet, cool and slice.
- Serve with your grilled avocados and ginger ponzu dressing and top with jalapeño, green onions and crispy wontons!
