Essential Ingredients

Wonton Wrappers: Look for round or square wrappers; they yield perfectly crispy shells when baked or fried.
Fresh Ahi Tuna: Use sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and freshness; it’s worth splurging on quality.
Avocado: Ripe avocados add creaminess; choose ones that give slightly when gently pressed.
Soy Sauce: Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels while enhancing umami flavors.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice brightens up the dish with zesty acidity; bottled juice doesn’t cut it here.
Sesame Oil: A drizzle of toasted sesame oil introduces a rich nuttiness that complements the tuna beautifully.
Sriracha Sauce: Adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance; it adds heat and tang.
Green Onions: Chopped green onions provide freshness and crunch to each bite; they’re an essential garnish!
Sesame Seeds: Toasted sesame seeds give texture and visual appeal; sprinkle them liberally on top!

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Wontons: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange wonton wrappers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brushing each lightly with oil for extra crispiness.

Bake or Fry the Wontons: Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. If frying, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry until golden brown, watch them closely!

Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture: In a bowl, combine diced ahi tuna, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently until everything is well coated.

Add Avocado Magic: Gently fold in diced avocado into the tuna mixture so you don’t mash it up, nobody wants guacamole-tuna tacos! For more inspiration, check out this Avocado Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps recipe.

Assemble Your Tacos!: Spoon the spicy tuna mixture into each crispy wonton shell. Top generously with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flair.

Serve & Enjoy!: These tacos are best enjoyed immediately while the wonton shells are still crispy! Serve them fresh alongside extra lime wedges for that citrusy zing.
