Cut the tuna into long, fat, squared off strips or logs 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick .Coat the tuna with the oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set a skillet over high heat. When the pan is very hot, after 2 to 3 minutes, sear the tuna for 20 to 30 seconds on each side - they should be seared outside and rare inside. Transfer to cutting board and slice 1/4" thick.

To assemble, set the tuna slices on rice crackers; top each with a small spoonful of the salsa and a whole cilantro leaf.
