Cilantro: Loaded with antioxidants and essential vitamins, organic cilantro helps detoxify the body and improve digestion.
Avocado: High in healthy fats and fiber, organic avocados support heart health and aid in nutrient absorption. Not to mention, they are a key ingredient for tacos!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Watkins Organic Chili Lime Seasoning on the tuna.
Step 2
Add the avocado oil into a large skillet and put over medium heat. Add the tuna, seasoning side down. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of seasoning onto the other side of tuna.
Allow tuna to cook and flip it after a few minutes. Once the tuna starts to sear on each side, you can break it up with a spatula and continue to cook until fully cooked. This will take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
In a small clean skillet, heat the tortillas until warmed.
Step 4
Assemble the tacos: Add fish, avocado, chopped cabbage, red onion, cilantro, and mango salsa. Top with a bit of lime juice.
FAQ's
Yes, you can use another kind of fish. A white fish would be most similar and go well with this recipe. That would be like cod or tilapia.
Yes, feel free to use any kind of tortillas that you like! I use a mix of corn and wheat tortillas as these are my favorite. But, feel free to use just corn if you're gluten free or even just flour if you prefer.
