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.
