Ingredients
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 100 g cooked tuna (approximately 1 small can)
- 6 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup raw veggies (e.g. cucumber and bell pepper) cut into stripes
Avocado Dip
- 4-6 Tbsp avocado dip (recipe link: https://greenhealthycooking.com/avocado-dip/)
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado Dip: Begin by making the avocado dip using the linked recipe or using a store-bought version if preferred. This creamy dip will add flavor and moisture to the wrap.
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash and thinly slice the raw veggies such as cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips for easy layering and even distribution in the wrap.
- Prepare Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce leaves to ensure freshness and prevent sogginess in the wrap.
- Set Up Wrap Base: Lay out a large piece of wax paper on your workspace to help with rolling and wrapping the tortilla later.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place the whole wheat tortilla flat on top of the wax paper. Spread 4 to 6 tablespoons of avocado dip evenly on half of the tortilla to serve as the base for the fillings.
- Add Fillings: Layer the washed lettuce leaves, cooked tuna, and sliced raw vegetables such as cucumber and bell pepper over the avocado dip side of the tortilla, arranging them evenly.
- Roll the Wrap: Carefully roll the tortilla over the fillings to form a tight wrap. Then, continue rolling it around the wax paper, forming pockets at the top and bottom for secure holding. Use adhesive tape or string to fasten the wrap securely.
- Serve: Cut the wrapped tortilla in half down the middle to create two halves and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality tuna for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of avocado dip to suit your taste preference and desired level of creaminess.
- Feel free to swap raw veggies with any favorite crunchy vegetables such as carrots, radishes, or bell peppers.
- Wrap tightly to prevent the filling from falling out while eating.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; best consumed fresh.
- To make it vegan, substitute the tuna with chickpeas or mashed beans and use a vegan avocado dip.
