Cooking Directions

STEP 1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the tuna marinate for at least 30 minutes.
STEP 2.Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
STEP 3.While the tuna is resting, prepare the wasabi-cilantro aioli. In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, wasabi paste, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
STEP 4.To assemble the tacos, warm the taco shells in the oven or on the stovetop. Slice the grilled tuna into thin strips. Spread a spoonful of the aioli onto each taco shell, then top with the sliced tuna and any desired toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices.
STEP 5.Serve the tuna tacos immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

Make sure to use fresh tuna steaks for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of wasabi paste in the aioli according to your desired level of spiciness.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Sliced radishes, pickled onions, or jalapenos would also be delicious additions.
If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the tuna on a stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
Leftover aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

These tuna tacos are best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the taco shells and the freshness of the tuna.
If you have any leftover grilled tuna, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To reheat the leftover tuna, gently warm it in a skillet over low heat until just heated through.
Serve the leftover tuna in tacos, salads, or as a topping for rice bowls for a quick and flavorful meal.
