Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Gently fold in diced sushi-grade tuna, red onion, green onion, and toasted sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. For frying, heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully fold each wonton wrapper into a taco shape and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. For baking, preheat oven to 375°F and arrange wonton wrappers draped over the edges of an oven-safe dish for 6-8 minutes until crisp.
  3. Once wonton shells are ready, take them out and let cool slightly. Spoon a generous portion of the chilled tuna mixture into each wonton shell, topping with slices of creamy avocado and optional garnishes like jalapeños or pickled ginger.
  4. Transfer the assembled tacos onto a serving platter and serve immediately with lime wedges and additional garnishes on the side.
