Ingredients
Scale
Tuna Filling
- 1 can skipjack tuna (5 oz) or yellowfin tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard or regular mustard
- ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- ¼ cup corn kernels
- ¼ cup red onion, diced (about ¼ of a red onion)
- 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Assembly
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice
- 1 large wrap (at least 10 inches, burrito-sized) – recommended brands: Siete or La Tortilla Factory
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the corn kernels, diced red onion, dill relish or capers, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay the large wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the center of the wrap, leaving some space around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the tuna mixture.
- Melt the Cheese: Fold the wrap’s sides over the filling and secure it. Place the wrap seam-side down in a preheated non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese melts and the wrap is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve immediately for a warm, melty, and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cheese with a vegan cheese or skip it entirely.
- Use canned tuna packed in water for a lighter option or in oil for richer flavor.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra freshness.
- Wraps can be warmed in an oven or air fryer if preferred instead of a skillet.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt if needed.
- Use corn tortillas for gluten-free versions if necessary, though the texture and size will differ.
