Ingredients
For the chipotle mayo:
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the guacamole:
- In a large bowl, remove the flesh from the two avocados and discard the skin and seeds. Mash the avocados with a fork or spoon until a rough puree is formed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold in the chili, tomato, cilantro, onion and stir to combine thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, combine the tuna with the ponzu and the sesame seeds.
- In a third bowl, combine the shredded jicama, cilantro and lime juice and toss together, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place the guacamole into the center of a large serving bowl.
- Top with chipotle aioli, and then the tuna tartare.
- Finish by topping with the shredded jicama and serve with the wonton chips.
