Description
Crispy and flavorful Baked Sushi Tacos made with nori shells, shrimp or salmon, avocado, cucumber, and seasoned sushi rice.
Ingredients
2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt
6 nori sheets
1 cup cooked shrimp or salmon, diced
1 avocado, sliced
1 cucumber, julienned
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Soy sauce for serving
Wasabi for serving
Pickled ginger for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each nori sheet in half and place each piece in a muffin tin slot or taco mold. Bake for 6–8 minutes until crisp.
Prepare sushi rice and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Dice shrimp or salmon, slice avocado, and julienne cucumber.
Mix mayonnaise with sriracha for a spicy sauce.
Remove baked nori shells from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Fill each shell with a layer of sushi rice, then add shrimp or salmon, avocado, and cucumber.
Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
Notes
Assemble tacos just before serving to prevent shells from becoming soggy. You can swap shrimp for crab, or use mango slices instead of avocado for a sweet twist. An air fryer at 375°F for 2–3 minutes also works to crisp nori shells.
