This tuna tartare recipe is addictive and a huge hit at our cocktail parties. I have to hide it from the staff it’s so good.

3 T. lime juice
2 t. wasabi powder mixed with 2 Tbsp. of mayonnaise
1 T. honey
2 T. soy sauce
a few dashes of Sriracha hot chili sauce

1.5 t. kosher salt

Add to the mixture:

½ handful of chopped cilantro
some diced cucumber
2 t. chopped jalopeno
1 ripe avocado- cut up
2 t. toasted sesame seeds
Add the tuna to the mixture
¼ lb. yellowfin or bluefin sashimi quality tuna- ¼” dice- easier to do when slightly frozen
Package of wonton wrappers
2-3 cups veggie oil
Slice square wrappers in half
Pour inch of veggie oil in medium saucepan and place on medium high. When very hot, (drop of water in pot sizzles) carefully, with tongs put a few wonton triangles in oil. Once they turn a golden brown, use tons to take out and dry on paper towels.
Put a spoonful of the tuna tartare on each chip when ready to serve. Do not do ahead of time as chips will become soft.
