How-to
Make Wonton Cups
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Spray mini muffin tins with canola oil. Spray (or brush lightly) both sides of each wonton wrapper with canola oil. Place wrappers in mini-muffin tins
- Bake until golden, about 6 minutes. (They can burn easily so watch carefully)
- Remove cups from pan and let cool on a cooling rack. (Alternatively, if you want triangles, cut the wonton squares on an angle to make two triangles. Arrange triangles on a baking sheet. Spray with canola oil on one side, or brush lightly)
Prepare Tuna Tartare
- Mix tuna, green onions, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, orange zest, Sriracha, cilantro and salt together in a medium bowl
Assemble
- Right before ready to serve, add avocado and lime juice to the tuna mixture (do not add in advance). Gently mix
- Place a heaping tsp of the tuna tartare in each wonton cup. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve immediately
