Tuna Tartar Tacos
- Yield:
- 6 mini tacos
Ingredients
Taco Shell:
- Canola oil, for frying
- 6 round 4-inch dumpling wrappers
Tuna Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
Taco Filling:
- 6 ounces sushi-grade tuna, diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup daikon radish, peeled and spun on a spiral vegetable slicer
Wasabi Guacamole:
- 1 ripe Hass avocado, brunoise (very small dice)
- 1 tablespoon red onion, brunoise
- 1 tablespoon plum tomato, brunoise-quarter tomato first and discard seeds, use outer flesh
- 1 teaspoon wasabi peas, coarsely chopped, optional
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon seeded jalapeno, brunoise, optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, strained
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
For the taco shells: Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Place 1 wrapper into each slot of a taco/tostada fry basket and fry until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. Let the shells cool.
For the dressing: Mix all ingredients for dressing in a small bowl and chill.
Guacamole:
Prepare remaining guacamole ingredients and add to a medium bowl. Gently fold together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly distributed, but you don't want a puree. Maintaining the integrity of the vegetables is critical as it adds a great texture and visual appeal to the dish. Season with salt to taste before serving.
Assembly:
Place some of the tuna and daikon into a taco shell. Drizzle with dressing. Top with a bit of guacamole. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
