Method

  1. 1

    Cut the ahi tuna into bite‑size cubes and place them in a large, non‑reactive bowl.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cut the tuna into even pieces for a consistent marinade.

  2. 2

    Squeeze the juice of two limes over the tuna, ensuring the fish is fully submerged; this will “cook” the tuna.

  3. 3

    Season the tuna with salt to taste and gently stir to coat all pieces evenly.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Keep the tuna chilled while it marinates.

  5. 5

    While the tuna marinates, prepare the creamy ginger‑soy sauce: combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, soy sauce (1–2 tbsp), and grated fresh ginger in a small bowl; whisk until smooth and set aside.

  6. 6

    Dice the mango, avocado, Fresno pepper, and finely dice the red onion; place all in a mixing bowl.

  7. 7

    Add the chopped cilantro to the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.

  8. 8

    After the tuna has marinated, drain any excess lime liquid if desired, then add the mango‑avocado mixture to the tuna and toss gently to distribute the flavors.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Toss gently so the tuna pieces remain intact.

  9. 9

    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or a splash of lime juice if needed.

  10. 10

    Toast the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for 30–45 seconds per side, or until lightly browned and pliable.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tortillas are lightly browned and pliable. Toast on a dry skillet.

  11. 11

    To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the tuna ceviche onto each warm tortilla.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Fill the tortillas just before serving.

  12. 12

    Drizzle the prepared creamy ginger‑soy sauce over the ceviche, then garnish with extra cilantro leaves and a wedge of lime for optional squeezing.

  13. 13

    Serve immediately while the tortillas are still warm.
