Description

These Spicy Tuna Tartare Wonton Tacos feature fresh Ahi tuna mixed with a zesty sriracha and sesame dressing, served in crispy baked wonton shells. Perfect as an elegant appetizer or light meal, the combination of creamy avocado and tangy lime juice balances the bold spice for a refreshing bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Wonton Shells

  • 12 square wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray (for baking)

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

Toppings

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Extra sriracha sauce (for drizzling)
  • Additional green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and bake wonton shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the wonton wrappers in a single layer on a baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the spicy tuna mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh Ahi tuna with sriracha sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and finely chopped green onions. Gently stir to evenly coat all ingredients without breaking the tuna apart.
  3. Assemble the tacos: Spoon a generous amount of the spicy tuna tartare into each crispy wonton shell, making sure to fill them carefully so they do not break.
  4. Add toppings and garnish: Top the spicy tuna mixture with diced ripe avocado. Drizzle additional sriracha over the tacos, and sprinkle with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired for added flavor and texture.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy these wonton tacos right away while the shells remain crisp for the perfect crunch combined with creamy and spicy fillings.

Notes

  • Make sure the Ahi tuna is very fresh and sashimi-grade for the best taste and safety.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • Wonton shells can be baked ahead of time and stored in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
  • For extra crunch, you can sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  • This recipe is best served immediately after assembly to prevent soggy shells.
