Avocado diced to size match the cucumber spears

Cut thin slices of Jalapeno (one per Tuna slice)

Cut slivers of Aji Amarillo (one per Tuna slice)

Cut thin slices of Tuna in 1W x 4L inch long cuts (long enough to be able to roll them around the avocado and cucumber)

Ingredients to make the Cilantro marinade

Cilantro

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Cumin to taste

½ of a lime’s juice

1 whole Aji Amarillo (you can substitute Aji Amarillo Paste)

Let Tuna sit in Cilantro Marinade ½ hour

Enjoy!!!!!
