Spicy Ahi Tuna Nachos

Whenever sushi is brought up in the Delish Test Kitchen, we inevitably begin to talk about what the best roll is. Some folks love California rolls, some love unagi, but more often than not, we settle on spicy tuna. That perfect combination of creamy mayo, spicy sriracha, and tender tuna makes for the ideal base not just for sushi, but for all types of dishes.

Enter spicy tuna nachos. It’s a dish that takes all the things you love about spicy tuna and turns it into crispy, delicious nachos. We start by creating what is essentially a plain tuna poke. Then you quickly fry up some wonton wrappers to make crispy chips (though you can just use tortillas if you’re in a pinch). Then we top them with avocado, cabbage, scallions, and sesame seeds, and the whole thing is just smothered in a delicious yet simple spicy mayo. You can use any mayo, but we love Japanese mayo brands like Kewpie for their tangy, distinct flavor.

Don’t love tuna? Swap in some diced sushi-grade salmon. Or go vegetarian with some baked tofu. However you make them, just let us know how your nachos came out in the comments below!
