1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Whisk together the juices, chile powder and olive oil in a medium baking dish until combined. Add the tuna and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes (do not marinate longer than that or the fish will begin to break down).
3. Remove the tuna from the marinade, season on both sides with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown and slightly charred on the bottom side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish over and continue grilling to medium-rare doneness about 2 minutes. Remove from the grill, let rest a few minute and sliced into �-inch thick slices.
4. Brush the tortillas on both sides, lightly with some of the canola oil, place on the grates of the grill and grill each sides for about 10 seconds, or until lightly marked and just heated through. Remove from the grill and wrap tightly in foil to keep warm. Place 2 or 3 slices of tuna in the center of each tortilla, drizzle with some of the avocado cream, top with some of the corn salsa, red cabbage slaw.
