Ingredients
Scale
Spicy Tuna Mixture
- 6 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced into small uniform cubes
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 tsp soy sauce or tamari (for umami and drizzling)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Base and Toppings
- 3 cups sturdy plain tortilla chips
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Spicy Tuna: Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform cubes. In a bowl, combine the tuna with the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, a splash of soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Gently stir to coat the tuna evenly without breaking up the cubes. Set aside to marinate briefly to allow flavors to meld.
- Arrange the Base: Spread the sturdy tortilla chips in a generous, even layer on a large serving platter or tray. Avoid overlapping too much to make it easy to pick up chips individually.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Evenly distribute the diced avocado, thinly sliced green onions, and if using, chopped fresh cilantro over the tortilla chips, adding fresh flavors and vibrant colors.
- Spoon on the Spicy Tuna: Carefully dollop the spicy tuna mixture over the tortilla chips, ensuring each chip gets a creamy and spicy topping for balanced taste.
- Final Touches: Garnish with extra sesame seeds and optionally drizzle a little more soy sauce or spicy mayo as desired. Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the chips and freshness of the ingredients.
Notes
- Use sushi-grade tuna to ensure freshness and safety when consuming raw fish.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately to prevent the tortilla chips from becoming soggy.
- If soy sauce contains gluten, tamari can be used as a gluten-free alternative.
- For variation, you can add diced cucumber or radish for extra crunch.
