TUNA TACOS



Tuna Tacos image

This is a tuna taco recipe I created 25 years ago. It is easy, quick, and very tasty. When served with crackers it makes a really good light snack or appetizer. I find that once you start eating them you really can't stop. I like to serve this with a chicken rice. To lighten the recipe, you can eat with crackers.

  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the tuna steaks in a grill pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To make the tacos ahead of time, cook the tuna steaks and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the tuna steaks in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.
  • For a healthier version of these tacos, use whole wheat tortillas and top them with grilled vegetables instead of cheese and sour cream.
