These aren’t your average nachos… meet their fresh, coastal-cool upgrade. Crisp chips get stacked sky-high with silky diced tuna kissed with fragrant ginger-scallion infused oil, creamy avocado wasabi crema, and a bright, zesty salsa bursting with citrus and heat.
Every layer is a perfect mix of crunchy, buttery, spicy, and refreshing, finished with vibrant herbs, sliced jalapeños, and a shower of salty cotija for that irresistible final touch.
Light, bold, and totally addictive, these tuna nachos are the kind of dish that turns any gathering into a party, and disappears fast once they hit the table.

Place a layer of chips on a large plate, board, or sheet pan. Sprinkle some of the tuna around the top of it along with small dollops of the avocado crema, and salsa.
Sprinkle some of the jalapeno slices, cilantro leaves, green onions, shiso leaves, and cotija cheese around.
Add another even layer of chips on top of this to create another layer. Repeat the toppings, spreading everything evenly. You want to build about 3-4 layers.
Save your prettiest garnishes for the top and serve immediately.
