Tuna tartare served on crispy wonton chips with avocado recipe by Sweet Basil Catering NYC

Ingredients

For the Tuna Tartare:

  • 6 oz fresh sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Kosher salt to taste

For the Wonton Crisps:

  • 6 wonton wrappers, cut into triangles
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

    1. Fry the Wontons:
      Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the wonton triangles until they’re golden and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Remove and let them cool on paper towels.
    2. Mix the Tuna and Avocado:
      In a bowl, gently toss the diced tuna, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, minced shallot, and sesame seeds until evenly coated.
    3. Assemble:
      Spoon a little of the tuna and avocado mixture onto each wonton triangle and serve right away for the best crunch.

Make Ahead Tips

  • The tuna mixture can be prepared up to a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
  • The wonton crisps can be fried up to two days ahead and stored in an airtight container.
  • Assemble just before serving to keep the wontons crisp.

Pro Tips

  • For a spicy kick, add a little sriracha to the tuna and avocado mixture.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
