Ahi Tuna Tacos with Pineapple Salsa pair peppery, spice-rubbed seared tuna with a lively mix of sweet pineapple, zesty lime, and a touch of heat. Tender slices of tuna tuck into warm tortillas with a cool swipe of sour cream, creating a bright, balanced bite that’s ideal for a weeknight dinner or casual get-together.

1

Combine black pepper, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the tuna steaks. Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, mix pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper, and lime zest for the salsa in a bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
3

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna steaks and cook to your preferred doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium. Remove from the skillet and slice the steaks thinly.
4

Spread a thin layer of sour cream over each warmed tortilla. Add the tuna slices, top with the pineapple salsa, and wrap to seal.
