Ingredients
Scale
Spicy Tuna
- 2 x 5 oz (145g) cans of Tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup (60g) full fat Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 rib of Celery, finely diced
- 1 large Spring Onion, finely diced
- Salt & Pepper, as needed
Crunchwraps
- 4 large Flour Tortilla Wraps (10 inch)
- 1 cup (100g) Cheddar, grated
- 2 small Avocados, halved, stoned, peeled & finely sliced (about 1/2 avocado per crunchwrap)
- 1.5 oz (40g) Chilli Heatwave Doritos (approx 5-6 chips per crunchwrap)
- 1/2 small head of Iceberg Lettuce, finely sliced (or as needed)
- Salt & Pepper, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Spicy Tuna: In a small mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna with mayonnaise, sriracha, finely diced celery, spring onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside to let flavors meld.
- Assemble the Crunchwraps: Lay out the four large flour tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Place a small pinch of finely sliced iceberg lettuce in the center of each wrap. Add a generous spoonful of the prepared spicy tuna over the lettuce, then layer on the sliced avocado sprinkled with a pinch of salt and pepper. Next, arrange the Doritos in a circular pattern over the avocado for crunch, and top everything with a good amount of grated cheddar cheese.
- Fold the Wraps: Fold the edges of each tortilla towards the center, overlapping the edges until the filling is completely enclosed. Ensure the seam is tightly sealed to hold the contents during cooking.
- Cook the Crunchwraps: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place each crunchwrap seam side down onto the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the underside is deep golden and crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove the crunchwraps from the pan and let them rest for a minute. Slice each in half and serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Tortilla Wraps: Use 10-inch flour tortilla wraps for ideal pliability. If they seem stiff, microwave briefly to soften and avoid tearing during folding.
- Doritos: Chilli Heatwave Doritos add a spicy kick, but any tortilla chip can be substituted depending on your spice preference.
- Sriracha/Spiciness: The recipe offers a gentle heat. Substitute sriracha with any hot sauce, but adjust quantity carefully as spice levels vary.
- Make Ahead: Avoid assembling full crunchwraps in advance to prevent sogginess. You can prepare the spicy tuna mixture ahead and store it tightly covered in the fridge for up to two days. Bring to room temperature and stir well before assembling.
