Chili Lime Ahi Fish Tacos
These Chili Lime Ahi Fish Tacos feature fresh Ahi tuna that’s marinated in a zesty blend of chili lime seasoning. Seared to perfection and topped with purple cabbage, red onion, avocado, mango salsa, cilantro, and lime – you won’t even believe these tacos have less than 10 ingredients!
Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound wild caught Ahi tuna
- 2 tablespoons chili lime seasoning
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 1 cup chopped purple cabbage
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup mango salsa
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 limes
Instructions
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the chili lime seasoning on the tuna.
- 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.
- While the fish is cooking, I like to chop the taco toppings. Chop the cilantro, red onion, purple cabbage, avocado, and lime wedges so they are ready.
- In a small clean skillet, heat the tortillas until warmed.
- Assemble the tacos: Add fish, avocado, chopped cabbage, red onion, cilantro, and mango salsa. Top with a bit of lime juice.

Notes
Tips
- Using wild caught fish is always a more sustainable choice. Plus, you get more nutrients from wild caught compared to farm raised and I think even better flavor!
- If you don't have ahi, you could easily use salmon or a white fish in its place.
- Flour tortillas also work, though I really like the corn flavor with these ahi street tacos.
- Store leftovers separately in their own tupperware (fish, veggies, etc.) then heat and assemble tacos for the best tasting and easy leftovers!
- High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
