Today’s Recipe: Lemon Ahi Tacos

I woke up craving something refreshing and tangy today, so I decided to whip up a batch of zesty Lemon Ahi Tacos. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, especially during the warmer months when you want something flavorful but not too heavy.

Ingredients:

  • ahi tuna fillets (200g)
  • corn tortillas (4 pieces)
  • avocado (1, sliced)
  • red cabbage (100g, shredded)
  • lemon (1, juiced)
  • cilantro (a handful, chopped)
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill pan
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • citrus juicer

Start by heating up your grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the ahi tuna fillets with salt and pepper, then place them on the grill pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tuna is seared on the outside but still pink on the inside. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

While the tuna is resting, warm up the corn tortillas on the grill pan for about 30 seconds on each side. Once warmed, assemble your tacos by placing a few slices of ahi tuna on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top for a burst of citrusy flavor.

Serve your Lemon Ahi Tacos immediately and enjoy the fresh combination of flavors and textures. The crispy cabbage, creamy avocado, and zesty lemon pair perfectly with the tender ahi tuna. These tacos are light yet satisfying, making them a great option for a quick and healthy meal.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the ahi tuna in lemon juice and cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before grilling for a more intense citrus taste.

I hope you give these Lemon Ahi Tacos a try and feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or additional seasonings. Enjoy!
