Ingredients

For the wraps:

• 2 ahi tuna filets, thawed
• 1 tbsp. avocado oil
• 8 large butter lettuce leaves
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 yellow pepper, sliced into matchsticks
• 1 cup cucumber, sliced into matchsticks

For the sauce:

How to Make It

1. In a small bowl, stir the ingredients together for the sauce. Note if the sauce is too thick for your liking, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin. Set aside.
2. Add the avocado oil to a skillet and bring to medium heat. Sear the ahi tuna 1-2 minutes on each side (or to your desire) then place the tuna on a plate to set 5 minutes.
3. Place the butter lettuce leaves on a plate, add the sliced cucumber, bell pepper and shredded carrots.
4. Using a sharp knife, slice the ahi tuna into 1/2 -inch thickness and place on top of the prepared butter lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds.
5. Serve with sauce.
