Tex-Mex Sushi. Let it happen to you.
The Goods:
- The perfect guac
- Corn tossed with cilantro, red onion and jalapeño
- Sushi grade tuna, cubed and tossed with a bit of S&P, neutral oil and ponzu
- Tortilla chips
The Execution:
To form this tasty little tower I use a 4 inch long piece of PVC pipe. Guac on the bottom, then the corn salsa, and finally the tuna. Slide pipe up and off. Drizzle a bit of ponzu over, garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
The Takeaway:
We served this dish for friends — a light dinner after a fundraiser for the little one’s school on a recent fall Sunday afternoon. Go Spruce Street P.S. 397!
And here’s the dish getting taken down:

Nathan, you outdid yourself on this one. This looks DELISH!!! Where did you buy the tuna?
GHT
Thanks Pam! I got the tuna at Whole Foods in Tribeca – once it’s out on the ice display it’s no longer considered sushi grade because it’s touched other fish – so you have to ask them to cut it from a piece in the fridge in the back
Fred
What diameter pvc pipe?
GHT
hi Fed- It’s a 3 inch diameter piece, cut about 2 and a half inches long
