Method
Tuna Filling
Prepare tuna
Open and drain the canned tuna thoroughly. Transfer tuna to a medium mixing bowl and flake with a fork until mostly broken up but still slightly chunky.
Make dressing
In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, soy sauce, and fresh lime juice until smooth.
Combine filling
Add the dressing to the flaked tuna along with thinly sliced green onions, finely diced celery, finely diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder (if using). Fold gently to combine, tasting and adjusting seasoning — add a bit more honey for sweetness or a pinch more salt if needed. Refrigerate while preparing other components for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld.
Sweet Slaw
In a mixing bowl combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and julienned apple. In a small jar or bowl whisk together rice vinegar, honey, olive oil and salt until honey dissolves. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let sit 5–10 minutes so the slaw softens and absorbs the dressing. Taste and adjust with a pinch more salt or a splash more vinegar if desired.
Tortillas & Assembly
Serve: arrange tacos on a plate and serve immediately while tortillas are warm. Leftover tuna can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
