directions

In a bowl, combine drained tuna, mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and green onions. Mix until creamy and well blended.

Lay a large flour tortilla flat. In the center, layer a scoop of spicy tuna, followed by avocado slices, cucumber, carrots, and a tostada shell or handful of chips for crunch.

Add shredded lettuce or cabbage and cheese if using. Drizzle with extra sriracha or spicy mayo if desired.

Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling to form a hexagon-shaped wrap, tucking as you go to seal everything inside.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter.

Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Slice in half and serve warm.

Swap tuna for canned salmon or shredded chicken.

Add cream cheese or spicy mayo inside for a creamy texture.

Use seaweed sheets instead of lettuce for a more sushi-like bite.

Include pickled ginger or jalapeños for a flavor kick.

storage/reheating

Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store cooled crunchwraps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for crispiness.
Avoid microwaving, as it may make the wrap soggy.
