Description

This Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Wonton Chips is a vibrant and flavorful appetizer combining sushi-grade tuna with creamy avocado and a kick of Sriracha, all served on crunchy baked wonton chips. Perfect for entertaining, it offers a refreshing balance of textures and bold Asian-inspired flavors.


Ingredients

Tartare Mixture

  • 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (green parts only)

For Serving

  • 12 crispy wonton chips
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Microgreens or cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the store-bought wonton chips for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will enhance their crunch and make a perfect base for the tartare.
  2. Mix Tuna: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced sushi-grade tuna with the low-sodium soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Stir carefully until the tuna is evenly coated with the sauces to ensure a balanced spicy and savory flavor.
  3. Add Avocado: Carefully fold the diced ripe avocado into the tuna mixture. Take care not to mash the avocado so that it maintains its creamy texture and adds a smooth contrast to the tender fish.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tuna and avocado mixture to add freshness and a nutty crunch, enhancing both the look and taste.
  5. Serve: Just before serving, generously scoop a spoonful of the spicy tuna tartare onto each crispy wonton chip. Garnish each chip with microgreens or cilantro for a pop of color and herbal brightness, then serve immediately to enjoy the combination of textures.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade tuna to ensure freshness and safety as this dish is served raw.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your preferred spice level.
  • For best results, bake the wonton chips fresh before serving for maximum crispiness.
  • This appetizer is best served immediately after assembly to prevent the wonton chips from becoming soggy.
  • Can be enhanced with a small squeeze of lime juice for added brightness if desired.
