1
Prepare the Tuna
In a bowl, combine the adobo sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tuna steaks and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Tuna
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated tuna for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
3
Make Guacamole
In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice. Stir in the red onion, cilantro, and salt to taste.
4
Prepare Refried Beans
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the canned refried beans and heat through. Add salt to taste.
5
Assemble Tacos
Warm the corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with sliced tuna, top with guacamole, and serve with a side of refried beans.
