Ingredients
Scale
Spicy Tuna
- 2 x 5oz / 145g cans of Tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup / 60g full fat Mayo
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 rib Celery, finely diced
- 1 large Spring Onion, finely diced
- Salt & Pepper, as needed
Crunchwraps
- 4 large Flour Tortilla Wraps (10-inch, flour-based)
- 1 cup / 100g Cheddar, grated
- 2 small Avocados, halved, stoned, peeled & finely sliced (1/2 avocado per crunchwrap)
- 1.5oz / 40g Chilli Heatwave Doritos (approx 5-6 chips per crunchwrap)
- 1/2 small head 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 full fat mayo, sriracha sauce, finely diced celery, finely diced spring onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set this mixture aside.
- Assemble the Crunchwraps: Lay out the four large flour tortilla wraps flat on a clean surface. In the center of each wrap, place a small pinch of finely sliced iceberg lettuce. Spoon the prepared spicy tuna mixture over the lettuce, then arrange the thin avocado slices on top, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Next, evenly distribute the Doritos in a circular pattern over the avocado layer, followed by a generous sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese. Finally, carefully fold the edges of the tortilla inward towards the center, overlapping as you go around until the entire center is fully covered and sealed.
- Cook the Crunchwraps: Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place each folded crunchwrap seam side down into the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bottom is deep golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook the other side until it is also golden and crispy, about another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the crunchwraps from the pan and slice each one in half for easier eating. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Tortilla Wraps: Use 10-inch flour tortillas for best results. If they seem stiff, warm them briefly in the microwave to soften and prevent tearing during folding.
- Doritos: Chilli Heatwave Doritos add a nice spicy kick, but feel free to substitute with any tortilla chips you prefer.
- Sriracha/Spiciness: The recipe offers a gentle spice level. Adjust the amount or substitute with another hot sauce as desired, noting that heat intensity varies.
- Make Ahead: Avoid assembling the complete crunchwraps in advance as they will become soggy. You can prepare the spicy tuna mixture ahead of time and store it tightly covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; bring to room temperature and stir before use.
