canned tuna (drained)
mayonnaise
sriracha
soy sauce
lime juice
green onions (chopped)
large flour tortillas
tostada shells or crispy tortilla chips (for crunch)
avocado (sliced)
cucumber (thinly sliced)
shredded lettuce
carrots (julienned or shredded)
rice (optional, cooked and cooled)
cheese (optional, shredded mozzarella or pepper jack)
cooking spray or oil (for grilling)

directions

In a bowl, mix the tuna with mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and chopped green onions until creamy and spicy.

Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface and start layering in the center: a spoonful of rice (if using), spicy tuna mixture, avocado slices, cucumber, carrots, and shredded lettuce.

Top with a tostada shell or a few tortilla chips for crunch. Add shredded cheese if desired.

Fold the edges of the tortilla over the center in overlapping layers to create a wrap. If needed, add a small tortilla piece in the center to help seal.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with oil.

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

Slice in half and serve warm with extra sriracha mayo or soy sauce.

Use sushi-grade raw tuna or spicy salmon for a more authentic flavor.
Add pickled ginger or jalapeños for extra kick.
Swap mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Use seaweed sheets inside for a sushi-like twist.

storage/reheating

Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
If storing, keep ungrilled wraps refrigerated for up to 1 day, then grill before eating.
Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to regain crispiness—avoid microwaving to keep the crunch.
