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
Nacho Base & 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 Spicy Tuna: Dice sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform cubes. In a bowl, combine the tuna with mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, a splash of soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Stir gently to coat the fish evenly without breaking the cubes. Set aside to marinate briefly to allow flavors to meld.
- Arrange Tortilla Chips: Spread a generous layer of sturdy plain tortilla chips on a large serving platter or tray. Distribute evenly without too much overlap so each chip can be easily grabbed and topped.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Evenly scatter the diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro (if using) over the tortilla chips to add bursts of flavor, creamy texture, and bright color.
- Top with Spicy Tuna: Carefully spoon the spicy tuna mixture over the chips, ensuring that each chip has some of the creamy, spicy fish mixture to enjoy.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top, and optionally drizzle extra soy sauce or spicy mayo for added flavor. Serve immediately to keep tortilla chips crisp and the dish fresh.
Notes
- Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess from the moist toppings.
- Adjust Sriracha quantity to control the level of spiciness.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the chips.
- Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and best texture.
- Cilantro is optional but adds a fresh herbal note that complements the spicy tuna well.
