Ahi Tuna Wonton Tacos

Carne Diem Culinary
These Ahi Wonton Tacos are a quick and flavorful recipe to make on your griddle like a Cooking Steel or Blackstone or in a cast iron skillet. Seared ahi tuna is topped with a wasabi sauce and cooked up in fried wonton wrappers. It is a great seafood appetizer but is equally as fantastic as a meal.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces ahi tuna steaks

  • Green onion sliced on the bias
  • Hoisin sauce for serving

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Wasabi Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 teaspoons wasabi powder

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl or plastic bag. Add the ahi tuna steaks and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Combine the wasabi sauce ingredients and refrigerate until needed.
  • Preheat your griddle, Blackstone, or flattop over medium-high heat (450 degrees).
  • Sear the tuna steaks for about 90 seconds per side (for rare). Cook longer, flipping every 60 seconds if you would like your tuna cooked more well done.
