Ingredients

  • 6 thin store-bought corn tortillas, preferably 4 to 5 inches in diameter (ones that are stale—at least not moist—are best)

  • Oil for frying to a depth of 1 inch
  • Salt
  • 8 to 10 ounces sashimi-quality tuna, preferably a slab about 4 inches square and 2 inches thick (tuna belly is often the right thickness)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup best-quality mayonnaise (see note above)
  • About 1 tablespoon finely chopped canned chipotle chiles en adobo
