instructions for a good Grilled Tuna with Mango and Avocado Salsa

First Off: Fire up that grill. Medium-high is the sweet spot.
Tuna Time: Lightly brush ’em with olive oil, season both sides. Once the grill’s sizzling, let them sear. Around 3-4 minutes on each side for that perfect medium-rare.
Salsa Magic: In between, whip up the salsa. Mango, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and those optional chili flakes – in a bowl, mix without mashing. We need those textures!

Quick Tips

Fresh Tuna: Make sure it’s firm and has that gorgeous pinkish hue.
Sizzle, Not Char: Keep an eye on the tuna. Overcooking isn’t fun.
Spice Alert: If you’re not all about that spicy life, ditch the chili flakes.
