These crispy wonton cups filled with a spicy tuna and creamy avocado mixture make a quick, easy, and impressive appetizer perfect for entertaining or a light snack.

Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers (square)
  • Fresh sushi-grade tuna (or sashimi-grade or good-quality canned tuna)
  • Ripe avocado
  • Mayonnaise (preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie)
  • Sriracha or other hot sauce
  • Soy sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds, toasted
  • Lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spray or brush the muffin tin cups with oil. Gently press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, folding edges slightly to form a cup shape without stretching too thin.
  3. Bake the wonton cups for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. While the cups bake, dice the fresh tuna and avocado into small, even 1/4-inch cubes.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, avocado, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon soy sauce, a few drops of sesame oil, and juice from half a lime. Fold gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  6. Add sliced green onions and sesame seeds, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning with more sriracha or salt if needed.
  7. Fill each wonton cup with a heaping teaspoon of the spicy tuna avocado mixture.
  8. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately to maintain crispness. If preparing ahead, store filling separately and assemble just before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill wonton cups to avoid sogginess. Use sushi-grade tuna for best flavor and safety. Lightly oil muffin tin to prevent sticking. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. For smoother filling, blend mayo and sriracha before mixing. Keep filling chilled until serving. Can substitute tuna with cooked shrimp or crab. Gluten-free options include gluten-free wonton wrappers or baked tortilla chips.
