Ingredients
  

1 package of wonton wrappers (approximately 36 wrappers)

1 can (5 oz) of tuna in water, well-drained

1 ripe avocado, mashed to a creamy consistency

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 small green onion, finely chopped (green and white parts)

1 small cucumber, finely diced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to create the perfect golden, crispy wonton cups.

    Prepare the Wonton Cups: Lightly spray a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or brush it with oil. Gently place each wonton wrapper into the muffin cups, pressing down to shape them into small cups, making sure they're not overlapping.

      Bake the Wontons: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the wonton wrappers for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the tin.

        Make the Tuna Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the well-drained tuna, creamy mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, soy sauce, lime juice, and finely chopped green onions. Use a fork or spatula to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

          Season to Taste: Taste the tuna avocado mixture and season it with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, adjusting according to your flavor preferences.

            Fill the Wonton Cups: After your wonton cups have cooled, carefully spoon the tuna avocado mixture into each cup, ensuring to fill them generously for a delightful bite.

              Add Cucumber: Top each filled wonton cup with a few diced cucumber pieces, adding a refreshing crunch to each bite.

                Garnish: For the finishing touch, sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of the cups and add fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                  Serve: Arrange the Mini Tuna Avocado Wonton Cups on a stylish serving platter. They are best enjoyed immediately while the cups are crispy. Enjoy this refreshing and delicious appetizer!
