Ingredients
- 2 rice paper wrappers cut in half (4 half-circles)
- 5 oz canned tuna flaked
- 3 tablespoons lettuce shredded
- 3 tablespoons carrots shredded

Instructions
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Carefully submerge one half-circle of rice paper into the hot oil for just a few seconds, until it becomes translucent and slightly puffed. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

- Top with shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, and a few cucumber slices.
- Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with nori furikake seasoning to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- I love adding more of my favorite toppings such as green onions and fresh cilantro. I love these Rice Paper Tacos with a squeeze of time on top, so have your lime wedges ready!
- Is tuna not your thing!? My husband doesnt love tuna either. When I make these tacos for him I use shrimp instead of tuna. This is perfect if you have any cocktail shrimps left over for a party or get together.
- You can also use an asian salad kit as the base of these rice paper tacos instead of buying different vegetables individually. It will save you time and money which is the ideal situation here if you ask me!
- To make these Rice Paper Tacos smaller, cut the rice paper into quarters instead of just in half. Then proceed to fry the rice paper wedge or rice paper triangle until crispy the same way to create a smaller, crispy shell.
