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)
- 2–3 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)
- 2–3 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
- 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.
- Add the chopped celery and red onion to your tuna mixture. Mix well.
- Fold in one cup of shredded cheese into your tuna mixture.
- Lay your tortillas flat, and spoon a generous amount of the tuna filling into the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce leaves.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- 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.
- 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.
