Chef Jeanie taught the “All Too Well” singer and Lorde how to prepare the dish, which serves up a “unique take on a universally loved staple.” The fusion tacos combine fresh sushi-grade tuna with punchy ingredients such as sesame oil and fresh ginger served in a “wan-taco” instead of a traditional tortilla.

Tuna Tartare Tacos
Makes 8 to 10 tacos
- 8 oz. sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
- 3 tbsp grape seed oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp jalapeños, diced
- 1 ½ tsp fresh ginger root, grated
- 2 tbsp scallions
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1 cup deep-frying oil (such as canola or corn)
- Wasabi tobiko (optional garnish)
- To make an ice bath, fill a large bowl with water and ice and set aside. Place chopped tuna in a medium-size bowl.
- Stir grapeseed and sesame oils together in a small bowl; pour oil mixture over the tuna so it’s fully coated.
- Place the tuna-oil mixture over the ice bath so it stays chilled as you work. Stir in remaining ingredients; mixture should feel slightly sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet until it reaches 350F. Fry wontons for about 10 to 20 seconds each. To cool in a taco shape, drape them over a surface such as a wooden rolling pin, a few cutting boards pushed together or the slats of an oven rack.
- Fill tacos with tuna tartare and top with mango salsa (recipe below) and wasabi tobiko.
Mango Salsa
Makes about ¾ cup
- 1 ripe mango, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp. chopped scallion
- 1 tsp. agave syrup
- 1 tsp. orange juice
- 1 tbsp. grape seed oil
- salt and white pepper (to taste)
Place all ingredients in a medium-size bowl and stir until well-combined.
