Taco Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Make Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice. Stir in the red onion, cilantro, and salt to taste.

  4. 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. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with sliced tuna, top with guacamole, and serve with a side of refried beans.
