Ingredients
Scale
For the Tuna Tartare
- 1 cup fresh Ahi tuna, diced
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
For the Wonton Tacos
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- Cooking spray (for baking)
- Optional garnish: additional green onions or sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Wonton Shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the wonton wrappers flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Lightly spray each wonton wrapper with cooking spray to help them crisp up evenly during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp, then remove and let them cool slightly.
- Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced Ahi tuna with sriracha sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and finely chopped green onions. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all the flavors without mashing the tuna.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the spicy tuna mixture generously into each crispy wonton shell. Top each filled shell with diced avocado, adding creaminess to balance the spice.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle extra sriracha over the assembled tacos for additional heat if desired. Garnish with extra green onions or sprinkle sesame seeds on top to add texture and flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the wonton tacos while still crispy.
Notes
- Use freshest sushi-grade ahi tuna for the best flavor and safety.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- To make the wonton shells extra crispy, ensure they are spaced apart on the baking sheet.
- These tacos are best served immediately to maintain the crispiness of the wonton shells.
- To speed up assembly, prepare the spicy tuna mixture ahead of time and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
