Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Tacos:

1 lb fresh sushi-grade tuna, diced into small cubes

1 tablespoon high-quality olive oil

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Blueberry Slaw:

2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup carrots, finely grated

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Slaw:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrots, red onion, and rinsed blueberries.

      - In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is well combined.

        - Drizzle the dressing over the slaw mixture, then gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

          Prepare the Tuna Filling:

            - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

              - Gently fold the mixture using a spatula, ensuring that the tuna is well coated without mashing the cubes.

                Warm the Tortillas:

                  - Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each tortilla on the skillet one at a time, warming for approximately 30 seconds on each side until they become soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can stack the tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 30 seconds.

                    Assemble the Tacos:

                      - Take a warm tortilla and add a generous spoonful of the tuna mixture in the center. Top it off with a handful of the blueberry slaw. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added burst of flavor.

                        Serve:

                          - Arrange the assembled tacos neatly on a serving platter and present the remaining blueberry slaw in a small bowl on the side. Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos to enhance the flavor!
