Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- vegetable spray
- 1/4 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
- 2 avocados (pitted)
- 1 Serrano or jalapeño (seeded, deveined, and minced)
- 1/3 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp (5 g) Kosher salt
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lbs (198 g) sushi-grade tuna
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds (white is ok too)
- 2 scallions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Lightly spray each cup of the muffin tin with cooking spray and gently press a wonton wrapper into each cup to fit its shape.
- Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with vegetable spray and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- While the wonton cups are baking, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl to make the Sriracha aioli. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in the serrano, red onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the tuna ¼-inch thick, against the grain.
- Once the wonton cups have baked, remove and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Place a dollop of the avocado mixture in each cooled wonton cup.
- Top with two slices of tuna, drizzle with the Sriracha aioli, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
- Serve.
Notes
- For extra crispy wonton cups, bake them for a few minutes longer than indicated, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- If you don’t have sushi-grade tuna, substitute with another high-quality tuna, but ensure it’s cooked thoroughly before serving.
- Store leftover wonton cups and fillings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving.
