Ingredients
Scale
For the Spicy Tuna Tartare:
- 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced into small cubes
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1–2 tsp sriracha (to taste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce or ponzu
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp finely diced red onion or shallot
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions or chives
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
For the Wonton Tacos:
- 10 wonton wrappers
- avocado slices for garnish
- optional: thinly sliced jalapeño or pickled ginger for topping
- oil for frying wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Prepare the Spicy Tuna Tartare: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce or ponzu, and lime juice. Gently fold in the diced tuna, red onion, green onion, and sesame seeds until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the shells.
- Fry the Wonton Taco Shells: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry wonton wrappers one at a time, folding gently with tongs to form taco shapes, until golden brown and crispy; drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Tacos: Fill each wonton taco shell with a spoonful of tuna tartare, top with avocado slices, and garnish with jalapeño or pickled ginger if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade tuna for raw preparations to ensure safety.
- For a lighter option, bake wonton wrappers draped over the edge of a baking dish at 375°F for 6–8 minutes instead of frying.
