Ingredients
  

For the Ahi Tuna:

For the Mango Salsa:

For the Greek Yogurt Chipotle Lime Sauce:

For the Ahi Tuna Tacos:

  • 8 tortillas
  • Extras: Lime wedges, avocado, cheese, shredded cabbage, cilantro

Instructions
 

For the Ahi Tuna:

  • Pat tuna dry with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle tuna with salt, pepper and blackening seasoning.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the two teaspoons of olive oil.
  • When the oil is hot, place the tuna steaks in the pan. Don't move the steak and allow it to sear for 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on how done you want your tuna. Flip and cook the other side. You can also use tongs to sear the sides.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for 2 minutes.
  • Thinly slice.

For the Mango Salsa:

  • Follow the instructions in the linked recipe below to make the mango salsa.

For the Greek Yogurt Chipotle Sauce:

  • In a small mixing bowl, measure out your Greek Yogurt.
  • Spoon out the chipotle sauce by pushing the peppers to the side of the jar. Start with less and add more to taste, as it can be spicy.
  • Add a squeeze of lime.
  • Spoon the sauce into a ziplock bag and cut off the corner to make a pretty line or just drizzle the sauce with a spoon.

To Assemble the Ahi Tuna Tacos:

  • Warm your tortillas on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Fill the taco shells with the seared ahi tuna slices.
  • Spoon the mango salsa on top.
  • Drizzle the Greek Yogurt Chipotle Sauce on top of that.
  • Serve immediately.
