Thundering Tuna Tacos
These tuna tacos are a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The tuna is cooked in the air fryer until it's tender and flaky, then tossed with a simple salsa made with red onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and jalapeños. The tacos are served on corn or whole-wheat tortillas and can be topped with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.
The inspiration for these tacos came to me one day when I was trying to think of a quick and easy meal to make for dinner. I had some tuna in the fridge, and I was craving tacos, so I decided to combine the two. I started by cooking the tuna in the air fryer, which gave it a nice crispy exterior and a tender interior. Then, I tossed the tuna with a simple salsa made with red onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and jalapeños. The tacos were delicious, and my family loved them. I've been making them ever since.
