Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Tacos:

1 lb sushi-grade tuna, diced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp lime juice

1 avocado, sliced

8 small corn tortillas

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges (for serving)

For the Strawberry Slaw:

2 cups red cabbage, thinly shredded

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup grated carrots

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp honey or agave syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Slaw:

    - In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, sliced strawberries, and grated carrots.

      - In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey/agave syrup, salt, and pepper.

        - Pour the dressing over the cabbage mix and toss until well coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

          Marinate the Tuna:

            - In a separate bowl, mix the diced tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.

              Warm the Tortillas:

                - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

                  Assemble the Tacos:

                    - Place a few slices of avocado on each warm tortilla.

                      - Spoon the marinated tuna on top of the avocado.

                        - Generously add the strawberry slaw over the tuna.

                          - Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and squeeze lime juice on top for an extra zing.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor. Enjoy the fresh and vibrant mix of flavors!
