- In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
- Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
- Preheat oven to 350°F for the taco shells.

- Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 minutes (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
- While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
- To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
- Avocado Salsa: Avocado is just ripe if it indents with the firm press of a finger.
- Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. DO NOT MASH AVOCADO.

Tips:
- Use the freshest possible ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your tacos. Look for ripe avocados, firm tomatoes, and fresh ahi tuna.
- Don't overcook the ahi tuna: Ahi tuna is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Sear it for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Make the avocado salsa ahead of time: The avocado salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Ahi tacos are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will become soggy if they sit for too long.
