-
1 tsp soy sauce
-
½ tsp sesame oil (optional)
-
1 tbsp lime juice
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp ground ginger (optional)
-
2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional)
-
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
-
1 small avocado, sliced
-
½ cup shredded lettuce
-
¼ cup shredded carrots
For the Crunchwrap:

4 small tostada shells (or crispy tortilla chips)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
-
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for grilling)
Instructions
-
Prepare the spicy tuna filling:
-
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, and ground ginger (if using). Stir until the mixture is well combined.
-
Add the chopped green onions and stir again. Set aside.
-
-
Assemble the crunchwrap:
-
Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface.
-
In the center of the tortilla, spread a small amount of the spicy tuna mixture.
-
Top with a few slices of cucumber, avocado, shredded lettuce, and shredded carrots.
-
Place a small tostada shell or a few crispy tortilla chips on top of the filling for extra crunch.
-
Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
-
Fold the tortilla:
-
Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center to form a hexagon shape, making sure to tuck the sides in as you go. The filling should be fully enclosed.
-
-
Grill the crunchwrap:
-
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and brush with olive oil or butter.
-
Place the assembled crunchwrap seam side down in the skillet. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside.
-
You may need to press down lightly with a spatula to ensure the crunchwrap stays closed while grilling.
-
-
Serve:
-
Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting into halves or quarters. Serve with extra sriracha sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
-
Notes
-
For added heat, you can include extra sriracha or chopped jalapeños in the tuna mixture.
-
You can use any protein or filling in place of the spicy tuna, like grilled chicken, shrimp, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
-
If you prefer a milder version, reduce the sriracha sauce or leave it out entirely.
