Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cabo wabo tequila
  • 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano (dried)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lb fresh yellowfin tuna fillet
  • 20 corn tortillas
  • 4 -5 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 large lime, sliced into 10 wedges
  • 3 -4 chipotle chiles, canned,julienned (optional)
  • 5 5 ounces fat-free cheddar cheese or 5 ounces fat-free monterey jack cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix together lime juice, tequila, mexican oregano, minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro in a small bowl.
  2. 2
    Place tuna fillet in a ziploc bag and pour marinade over fish.
  3. 3
    Remove excess air from bag and seal.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate for one hour, while you prepare your grill.
  5. 5
    Prepare grill by spraying grill surface with non-stick cooking spray BEFORE applying heat.
  6. 6
    Over medium-hot grill (gas, charcoal, electric) cook tuna, turning once, until cooked through (you may just cook on exterior if you prefer).
  7. 7
    (The cooking time will depend upon the thickness of your fillet; tuna can be eaten rare. I suggest a fillet that is slightly pink in the center so it flakes easily without being overdone. Do not overcook your fillet, however.) Set aside.
  8. 8
    Briefly heat corn tortillas carefully on grill.
  9. 9
    Do not overcook, or they will get hard.
  10. 10
    Break tuna into small chunks or shredded pieces and place about 1 1/2 ounces on a double layer of corn tortilla for each taco.
  11. 11
    Add shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro and squeeze a wedge of lime over the taco contents.
  12. 12
    If you wish a spicier taste, add the chilies.
  13. 13
    Serve.
