Ingredients
Scale
Spicy 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
Wonton Tacos
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- Cooking spray, for baking
- Extra sriracha sauce, for drizzling (optional)
- Additional green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare wonton shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the wonton wrappers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture. Bake for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Mix the spicy tuna tartare: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced fresh Ahi tuna with sriracha sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and finely chopped green onions. Stir carefully to evenly coat the tuna without breaking up the pieces too much.
- Assemble the tacos: Spoon a generous portion of the spicy tuna mixture into each crispy wonton shell. Then, top each filled shell with diced ripe avocado for a creamy contrast to the spicy tuna.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle extra sriracha sauce over the assembled wonton tacos for added heat if desired, and garnish with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Spicy Tuna Tartare Wonton Tacos immediately while the shells are still crispy to ensure maximum crunch and freshness.
Notes
- Use the freshest sushi-grade tuna available for the best flavor and safety.
- Adjust sriracha sauce to control the spice level according to your taste.
- You can substitute wonton wrappers with tortilla chips for a no-bake option, though they won’t be as crispy or uniform.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free wonton wrappers or substitute with rice paper or other gluten-free chips.
- Make the tuna tartare mixture in advance but assemble just before serving to keep the wonton shells crispy.
