Asian Style Tuna Tacos
Description
These tacos start with fresh ahi tuna cubes marinated in a mixture containing hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced ginger, and a touch of Tabasco. A crisp slaw made from red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, and cilantro tossed with dressing provides a crunchy contrast. The avocado is combined separately with part of the dressing to add creaminess and tang.
To assemble, warmed tortillas are layered with the slaw, marinated tuna, jalapeño slices, and avocado. The tacos are finished with a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise made by combining mayonnaise with Tabasco sauce. Serving with lime slices allows additional fresh citrus brightness if desired. The balance of creamy, spicy, tangy, and crunchy elements creates a lively taco experience.
This dish can work well as a light lunch or dinner, showcasing fresh seafood accented by typical Asian pantry staples and fresh vegetables.
