Ahi Tuna Tostadas

The ahi tuna tacos are essentially bite sized tacos filled with a sesame and ginger coleslaw
topped with a piece of perfectly seared ahi tuna served with a wasabi and lime aioli. The tacos shells are made from a crispy fried wontons and since I could not figure out how to fry them in the shape of a taco shell I ended up making tostadas rather than tacos.

ingredients

• oil for frying
• 16 wonton wrappers (or corn tortillas cut into triangles)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 5 ounce ahi tuna steak
• salt and pepper or cajun/creole seasoning to taste
• 1 cup sesame and ginger coleslaw
• 3 tablespoons wasabi aioli (or gochujang aioli, see below)
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 4 birds eye chilies (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

directions

1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Fry the wontons in batches until crispy and set aside on paper towels to drain.
3. Heat up the grill (or your grill pan) and brush it with oil.
4. Season the tuna on both sides.
5. Grill the tuna for no more than 2 minutes per side.
6. Cut the ahi tuna into slices.
7. Assemble the tostadas and enjoy.
