Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Mixture
  • 8 ounces Sushi-Grade Tuna Substitute sashimi-grade salmon or cooked shrimp for variety.
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be used as a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Adjust for spiciness to preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Use olive oil if sesame oil is unavailable.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce/Ponzu Tamari is a good gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice Can swap for lemon if preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Can substitute green onion for a milder taste.
  • 1/4 cup Green Onion Omit if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds Optional, for garnishing.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and fresh lime juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the diced sushi-grade tuna, red onion, and green onion until just combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Shape wonton wrappers into taco shells and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Once the wonton shells are crispy and cooled, fill each taco shell with the tuna mixture.
  5. Top each taco with fresh avocado slices and serve with jalapeños or pickled ginger on the side.
