Making the Tacos
  1. Prepare the Dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth.
  2. Mix Tuna Filling: Gently fold in the diced sushi-grade tuna, red onion, green onion, and sesame seeds. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  3. Cook Wonton Shells: Heat oil in a skillet. Shape wonton wrappers into taco shells and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden, or bake at 375°F for 6-8 minutes.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Fill each wonton shell with the chilled tuna mixture. Top with avocado slices and optional toppings.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Arrange the tacos on a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve immediately.
