In a bowl, mix diced cucumber, radish, fresh coriander or cilantro, furikake, and a splash of lime juice to create a refreshing topping.
Spoon the tuna poke mixture into the fried taco shells. Top generously with kewpie mayonnaise, the crunchy furikake cucumber mix, slices of avocado, pickled ginger, and a sprinkle of microgreens.
Enjoy your delightful crispy tuna poke tacos fresh for the best texture and flavor.
