Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, it’s easy to prepare, nutritious, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Tuna Mixture

  • 1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin tuna)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
  • ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ¼ cup corn
  • 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

Other Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito-sized, e.g., Siete or La Tortilla Factory brand)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the canned tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Fold in the corn, diced red onion, dill relish (or capers), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed, creating a flavorful tuna salad.
  3. Assemble the Wrap: Lay the burrito-sized wrap flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the tuna mixture along the center of the wrap. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tuna mixture for a melty, cheesy finish.
  4. Cook the Tuna Melt Wrap: Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a secure wrap. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the wrap is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  5. Serve: Remove from the skillet and slice in half if desired. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the mozzarella cheese with cheddar or your preferred melting cheese.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the tuna mixture.
  • For a lighter version, use a whole wheat or low-carb wrap.
  • This wrap can be prepared ahead of time but is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the wrap’s texture and melted cheese.
  • Make sure to press the wrap gently while cooking to ensure it holds together and crisps up nicely.
