Place a warm corn tortilla on a board and add the Herdez® pibil tuna, roll it into a taco shape. Make several and set aside. Remember that the tortilla should be hot to manipulate it. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil, fry the tacos for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil and set aside. For the roasted sauce, blend the roasted tomatoes with the roasted garlic, roasted onion, roasted allspice, toasted whole cumin, oregano, and orange juice; season with salt. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the oil and cook the sauce you just blended for 10 minutes. Set aside. For the xnipec sauce, in a bowl, mix the red onion with habanero peppers, add lime juice and orange juice, season with oregano, salt, and pepper, and let marinate for 1 hour. Set aside. Serve some roasted tomato sauce on a flat plate, place the tacos, add slices of avocado, the xnipec sauce, and enjoy.
