2. Marinate the Tuna: Place the yellowfin tuna fillet in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the fish. Remove excess air from the bag and seal it. Refrigerate for one hour while you prepare your grill.

3. Preheat the Grill: Before applying heat, spray the grill surface with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (gas, charcoal, or electric).

4. Grill the Tuna: Cook the marinated tuna on the preheated grill, turning it once, until it is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillet. Aim for a slightly pink center that flakes easily without being overdone. Avoid overcooking the fillet. Once done, set it aside.

5. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat the corn tortillas on the grill, being careful not to overcook them to prevent them from becoming hard.

6. Assemble the Tacos: Break the grilled tuna into small chunks or shredded pieces and place about 1 1/2 ounces on a double layer of corn tortilla for each taco. Add shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice over the taco contents. For a spicier kick, add chopped chipotle chilies.

7. Serve: Arrange the assembled tacos on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!

Tips:

• For best results, choose a fresh yellowfin tuna fillet for superior flavor and texture.
• Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chipotle chilies according to your preference.
• Serve with a side of cilantro cream sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
• Garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges for a vibrant presentation.
