10 min
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 5 min
Yield: 4 Tacos (4 Servings)
What You'll Need
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon (or lime juice, preferably fresh-squeezed)
- 1/4 cup onion (chopped)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 can (8 ounces /226 grams) of tuna (well drained)
- 4 corn tortillas (homemade or purchased)
How to Make It
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cream, and lemon or lime juice.
Stir together the onions and cilantro. Set this garnish and the cream sauce aside for the moment.
- Heat oil in a small pan and sautee the tuna, stirring often, until tuna is heated through and very slightly browned. Take pan off the heat.
- Heat a griddle over high heat and place the tortillas on it. Heat the tortillas, turning once or twice in the process, until they are very hot.
- Place ¼ of the tuna mixture onto each tortilla, then top each with some of the onion/cilantro mix and a drizzle of cream sauce.
Serve tacos immediately. Offer Mexican table sauce, bottled hot sauce, or other condiments of your choice.
