Preparation
Step 1
For the wonton cups:
Put oven rack in center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the wonton wrappers with canola oil. Gently press the wonton into the bottom and sides of a 12 count muffin pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently lift the wonton cups out of the pan and cool completely, about 10 minutes.
For the filling:
In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle the tilapa fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the fish in a single layer in the pan and cook until the flesh is flaky and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool slightly.
For the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the lime juice. Season with salt to taste. Add the avocado, mango, green onions, and arugula. Toss until all the ingredients are coated.
For the creme fraiche: In a small bowl, m ix together the creme fraiche, wasabi powder and salt until smooth.
To assemble the tacos: Put the wonton cups on a platter and divide the avocado mixture into cups. top each with 3 to 4 pieces of fish. Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the creme fraich mixture on top of the fish and serve.
Note: Wonton wrappers can burn very quickly in the over, so check them after 5 minutes.
