Ahi Tuna Tacos

This is a quick and easy week day meal using an possibly unusual ingredient!  Instead of chicken or beef in these tacos we're using Ahi Tuna.

You can find this fresh or frozen nowadays at most fish markets or well stocked grocery stores.  It sears very quickly, and like steak, can be cooked to a desired done-ness.

Each taco is topped with lightly seared tuna, lettuce and tomato and wasabi lime mayo - all made in less than 15 minutes!
