Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your nachos are perfectly melted and crispy when they come out of the oven.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer. Make sure to cover the sheet completely for the best nacho experience.
- Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over the tortilla chips, ensuring that every chip gets a generous amount of the tuna topping.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the tuna-covered chips. Be generous with the cheese for a gooey, melty finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once out of the oven, let the nachos cool for a minute before serving. This will help the cheese set slightly, making them easier to eat.
- Serve the Asian Tuna Melt Nachos hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or simply on their own!
Tips
- Use high-quality tortilla chips that can withstand the tuna mixture without getting soggy
- Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent excess moisture
- For extra flavor, consider toasting sesame seeds as a final garnish
- Use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and monterey jack for more complex flavor
- For a spicier version, add sriracha or chili flakes to the tuna mixture
- Serve immediately after baking to maintain maximum crispiness
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise
- Experiment with different types of canned fish like salmon or mackerel for variety
