Description

A comforting twist on the classic tuna melt, rolled up in a delicious wrap for easy eating.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of tuna (substitute with canned salmon or chickpeas)
  • 23 tablespoons mayonnaise (light mayo for a healthier option)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (try cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped (diced pickles or red onion can be used instead)
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped (substitute with green onions for milder flavor)
  • 23 lettuce leaves (romaine, spinach, or arugula)
  • 2 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free wraps are great too)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for grilling)

Instructions

  1. Prep your tuna filling: In a mixing bowl, combine one drained can of tuna and two to three tablespoons of mayonnaise. Stir until evenly coated.
  2. Add the chopped celery and red onion to your tuna mixture. Mix well.
  3. Fold in one cup of shredded cheese into your tuna mixture.
  4. Lay your tortillas flat, and spoon a generous amount of the tuna filling into the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce leaves.
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Place wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown before flipping and grilling the other side.
  7. Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half.

Notes

Serve with homemade chips or a fresh salad. Dipping sauces like ranch or sriracha mayo complement the wraps perfectly.
