Perfectly Seared Ahi
Every ahi tuna taco begins with perfectly seared ahi tuna. Lucky for you, we have an entire post on
how to make seared ahi tuna
on FFF. This is actually the exact recipe we used for the ahi in these tacos.
A few tips
Let it marinate:
the longer you let your ahi marinate in the ginger soy sauce, the better! We recommend at least 30 minutes, but 2 hours is gold!
Hot Heat + Oil:
the goal with cooking ahi tuna is to NOT overcook. We prefer it rare to medium-rare so that it's pink in the middle. Make sure to heat at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat so you can get a quick hot sear on the outside.
Doneness Sear Scale
- Rare: 30 seconds per side
- Medium rare: 1 minute per side
- Well done: 2 minutes per side

Toppings
Mango Guac
:
Whatever you do....do not NOT make the mango guac. I know that is a double negative, but what I'm trying to say is you better make the mango guacamole! It really does add the perfect amount of sweet + savory and healthy fats too!
Other:
In addition to the mango guac, we used a few key fresh ingredients to seal the deal. Here's what you need:
- fresh cilantro
- red onion
- lime juice

All About the Tortilla
When it comes to tacos, the tortilla matters.
Like, we are kind of tortilla snobs and I'm not mad about it. There are so many tortillas on the market such as corn, wheat, and even grain-free!
But, let me share with you our favorite, game-changing tortillas ---
Mission Street Taco Flour Tortillas
. They are the perfect size for tacos and their texture is firm yet chewy. If you're not a flour tortilla kind of girl, they also make a corn tortilla in the same "street taco" size.
Before serving:
We suggest browning your tortillas just a bit. You can pan fry them, but what we like to do is turn our gas burner on and cook them over the flame to get them warm and a little bit crunchy.
