Ingredients I am totally vibing with -->

Ahi Tuna:

Let's talk tuna – not just any tuna, but the rock star Ahi. This superstar brings the party to your palate. Fresh, red, and oh-so-tasty. It's like the Beyoncé of the sea. Imagine a fish that's not only fresh but practically melts in your mouth.

Wonton Wrappers:

Say hello to our crispy friends, the wonton wrappers. These thin squares of dough are like our culinary canvases, ready to soak up all the flavors and deliver that satisfying crunch. They're the unsung heroes of our nacho tale.

Avocado:

Creamy, dreamy, and oh-so-nutrient-packed, avocado adds a layer of richness to our nachos. It's the BFF of our Ahi tuna, creating a harmony of textures that'll make your taste buds dance.

Soy Sauce:

Enter soy sauce, the culinary wizard that elevates our dish to new heights. It's not just salty; it's a symphony of savory notes that marinate our tuna to perfection. The unsung hero of many Asian kitchens, it adds that umami kick we crave.

Sesame Oil:

Get ready to level up with sesame oil! This aromatic gem brings a touch of nuttiness that plays beautifully with the other flavors. It's our secret weapon for that extra layer of depth.

Green Onions:

Say hello to our green companions – fresh, crisp, and a bit sassy. Green onions add a pop of color and a hint of zing to our nachos. They're like the life of the party, making every bite a celebration.

Sesame Seeds:

Cue the confetti! Toasted sesame seeds are here to add a crunchy, nutty dimension to our nachos. It's not just a garnish; it's a game-changer in texture and flavor.

INGREDIENTS

Gather Your Squad:

Before we start the cooking party, let's make sure we've got all the VIPs on our guest list:

• Ahi Tuna

• Wonton Wrappers

• Avocado

• Soy Sauce

• Sesame Oil

• Green Onions

• Sesame Seeds

Step 1: Prep the Ahi Tuna 🐟

Start by ensuring your Ahi tuna is fresh and ready for the spotlight. Dice it into bite-sized cubes – we want each piece to be a flavor bomb. Place the tuna in a bowl and get ready to make it dance with the marinade.

Step 2: Marinate Like a Pro 🎶

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Pour this magical concoction over the diced tuna, making sure each piece gets a good soak. Give it a gentle toss – we want those flavors to mingle and create a symphony of deliciousness. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Time to let the magic happen!

Step 3: Wonton Wrapper Wonders 🥟

While the tuna is soaking up the goodness, let's talk about our crunchy canvases – the wonton wrappers. Lay them out like a deck of cards, ready to be transformed into nacho perfection. Cut them into triangles or your favorite nacho shape using a pizza cutter. Heat some oil in a pan, and fry those bad boys until golden brown and crispy. They'll be the crunchy foundation of our nacho dream.

Step 4: Guac & Roll 🥑

Let's not forget our green sidekick – avocado! Slice it up and mash it whatever you need to do to get it on your plate. I like to slice mine into cubes and toss on top for a pop of green color and that fresh, creaminess you want in this dish.

Step 5: The Nacho Assembly Line 🌮

It's showtime! Take the marinated Ahi tuna out of the fridge and pile it on top of our avocado-covered wonton nachos. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds, add a generous amount of sliced green onions for that pop of color, and you've got yourself a nacho masterpiece.
