Tuna Tacos / AIP

Whether you're using fresh tuna steaks, or leftovers from the grill, these seafood tacos bring all the flavor of the beach to your plate. Fully AIP compliant, the brightness and seafood flavor are perfect on a summer evening. Cassava tortillas wrap up the choice, bringing that taste of SoCal while keeping true to the elimination phase.
