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.

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.
