Sushi Tacos with Spicy Mayo Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 nori seaweed sheets
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade tuna, diced
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade salmon, diced
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup spicy mayo (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and 1 1/4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Moisten your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange the diced tuna, salmon, cucumber, and green onions in the center of the rice.
- Roll the nori sheet into a tight cylinder, using the sushi mat or towel to help. Wet the 1-inch border with water and seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
- In a small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Slice each sushi roll into 1-inch pieces. Place the sushi pieces inside the crispy corn tortillas to form sushi tacos.
- Drizzle the spicy mayo over the sushi tacos and serve immediately. Enjoy!
