About this recipe

Fresh, light, and packed with flavor—these ahi tuna tacos are the perfect tropical twist on taco night. Cubes of sushi-grade tuna are tossed in umami-rich poke sauce and served atop a slaw made with Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar Brewed from Sticky Rice, Kikkoman® Gluten-Free No Preservatives Added Poke Sauce and Kikkoman® Sesame Oil, tucked inside crunchy taco shells. Whether you’re craving poke tacos or want a fun new way to serve ahi, this dish is perfect for warm nights or easy entertaining. 

Tips & Tricks 

  • Make sure to use sushi-grade tuna for food safety and the best flavor.
  • Want more crunch? Toast the taco shells lightly before assembling. 
  • Swap taco shells for butter lettuce leaves if you’re going for a lighter, low-carb version. 
  • Add a drizzle of spicy mayo or a slice of avocado for a creamy finish. 
  • Serve with pickled ginger or a lime wedge for that extra hint of brightness.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
