Ingredients:

1. 24 wonton wrappers (find them in your produce section of the grocery store)
   1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
   3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
   3 tilapia fillets, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
   Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
   1 avocado, halved, pitted and cut into small cubes
   1 mango, peeled and flesh cut into small cubes
   3 green onions, finely chopped
   3 cups coarsely chopped baby arugula
   3 tablespoons olive oil
   2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
   Kosher salt
   1/2 cup creme fraiche (I just used sour cream and called it a day)
   1 tablespoon wasabi powder (I get mine in the international aisle of my grocery store)
   1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
   

Directions:

1. For the wonton cups:
   1. Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
   2. Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the wonton wrappers with canola oil. Gently press the wonton wrappers into the bottom and sides of two 12-count muffin pans. Bake until lightly golden, about 6 minutes (watch them carefully; they burn easily).
   3. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
   4. Gently lift the wonton cups out of the pan and cool completely, about 10 minutes.
   For the filling:
   1. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
   2. Drizzle the tilapia fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
   3. 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.
   4. Set aside to cool slightly.
   For the dressing:
   1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the lime juice.
   2. Season with salt, to taste.
   3. Add the avocado, mango, green onions, and arugula.
      Toss until all the ingredients are coated.
      For the creme fraiche:
      1. In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, wasabi powder and salt until smooth.
      To assemble the tacos:
      1. Put the wonton cups on a platter and divide the avocado mixture into the cups.
      2. Top each with a small piece of fish.
      3. Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the creme fraiche mixture on top of the fish.
      4. Serve and enjoy!

      Note: I made 24 appetizers in a regular sized muffin pan, but serving them this way requires utensils; making them in mini-muffins tins would be a nice way to serve them as bite-size appetizers
