Instructions

1
In a large bowl, add the drained tuna and mash it with a fork or masher until broken up.
2
To the tuna, add mayonnaise, chopped red onion, chopped fresh jalapeño, sweet corn, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
3
Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings to your liking.
4
Lay a large flour tortilla flat. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese in the center.
5
Top the cheese with a generous portion of the tuna salad, spreading it evenly. Add a layer of tortilla chips, followed by shredded lettuce, pickled jalapeños, and another sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
6
Cut a small circle from the small tortilla and place it on top of the fillings to help seal the crunchwrap. Tightly fold the edges of the large tortilla over the center, creating a hexagonal shape.
7
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the pan.
8
Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until each side is beautifully golden brown and crispy.
9
Remove from the pan, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Drain canned tuna thoroughly and press gently with paper towels to remove excess liquid, which prevents a soggy wrap.
Toast the tortilla lightly before filling to add structure and prevent it from tearing when folding; butter the outside for extra color and crispness.
Add the chips as the very last step before serving to preserve their crunch—folding them in too early causes them to soften.
Use room-temperature tuna salad and slightly warm cheese so both meld together when the tortilla is hot, without drying out the filling.

Substitutions

Canned tuna → canned salmon (slightly richer, works well with jalapeño)
Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt mixed with mayo (tangier, lighter)
Cheddar cheese → pepper jack cheese (spicier complement to jalapeños)
Sweet corn → diced celery (adds crunch without sweetness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store assembled wraps wrapped tightly in foil in the fridge for up to 1 day; reheat unwrapped in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until the cheese melts.
