Preparing Seared Tuna Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa & Roasted Corn is an easy process. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, roast it on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat until it’s slightly charred. If using frozen or canned corn, simply heat it until warm.
2. Season the Tuna: Rub the fresh tuna steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Sear the Tuna: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steak and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
4. Make the Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced mango, corn, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Mix gently to combine and set aside.
5. Slice the Tuna: After resting, slice the seared tuna into thin strips.
6. Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
7. Assemble the Wraps: Place a few slices of tuna in each lettuce leaf, then top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
8. Optional Toppings: Add sliced avocado on top if desired for extra creaminess.
9. Serve: Arrange the lettuce wraps on a platter and serve immediately.
