Directions

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:
   In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Warm slightly to dissolve sugar, then stir into cooked rice. Let cool to room temperature.

2. Make the Taco Shells:

   • For Nori Shells: Lightly toast each nori sheet over low heat until crisp, then fold into a taco shape using a mold or foil until cooled and firm.

   • For Wonton Shells: Fry wrappers in hot oil (350°F / 175°C) for 1–2 minutes, shaping into taco shells using tongs. Drain on paper towels.

3. Mix the Spicy Tuna:
   In a bowl, combine diced tuna, mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onion. Mix gently until evenly coated.

4. Assemble the Sushi Tacos:
   Spoon a layer of sushi rice into each taco shell. Top with spicy tuna mixture, avocado, cucumber, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

5. Garnish & Serve:
   Garnish with microgreens or shredded nori. Serve immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra sriracha on the side.
