Seared Ahi & Shrimp Tacos


Mango Salsa

Ingredients:
2 ripe Hayden Mangoes, peeled, pitted and small dice
1 small Ewa Sweet Onion, peeled and diced
1–2 jalapenos, seeded and diced small
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice of one lime

Instructions:
1. Toss all ingredients together until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Flour Tortillas

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt I use Morton's
1 tsp baking powder
1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil or other fairly neutral flavored oil
1 cup warm water

Instructions:
1. Combine dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix dry
ingredients until combined.
2. Add oil and water with the mixer running at a medium speed. Let mix till the mixture
begins to form a ball, decrease mixing speed to low. Continue to mix until the dough is
smooth.
3. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 16 equal portions. Form
each piece into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand or roller. Cover flattened
balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes (or as
much as 2 hours) before using.
4. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Roll each dough piece into a circle, about 6-7
inches in diameter.
5. When the pan is hot, cook each tortilla until the bottom has a few pale brown spots and
the uncooked surface is bubbly. Flip to the other side and cook for 15-20 seconds. The
tortillas should be nice and soft but have a few small brown spots on the surface.
6. Serve warm or allow to cool for later use.
