Ingredients

Scale

For the Spicy Tuna Filling:

  • 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

  • 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 large flour tortillas

  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
