Ingredients

Olive oil spray
15 square wonton wrappers
4 ounces sushi grade tuna, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced or chopped finely
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. mirin
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
4 whole scallions, finely chopped (keep white bottoms and green tops separated for later use)
1/4 cup pineapple, finely diced
1 jalapeño, large, thinly sliced
1 avocado, diced
1/2 tbsp. sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350° F
Spray a thin layer of olive oil on two baking sheets
Slice wonton wrappers diagonally to create triangles.
Lay the wonton wrappers on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake on the middle rack for 7 minutes. Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with olive oil and place them back in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on the wonton chips.
Let’s make the poke sauce. In a medium bowl add the minced garlic, grated ginger, mirin, soy sauce, lemon juice, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and the sliced white parts of the scallions. Mix until combined, then add the diced tuna and toss to coat. Place mixture in the refrigerator to marinate or chill for 15 minutes.
After the wonton chips have completed baking, place them on a serving plate and top them with marinated tuna. Next add diced pineapple, sliced jalapeño, diced avocado, sesame seeds, and the green parts of the sliced scallions. Lightly drizzle with this spicy mayo recipe and serve.
