Description

A quick and nutritious 10-minute tuna wrap featuring whole wheat tortillas, creamy avocado dip, fresh romaine lettuce, and crisp raw veggies for a satisfying and healthy meal.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce leaves to ensure freshness and prevent sogginess in the wrap.
  4. Set Up Wrap Base: Lay out a large piece of wax paper on your workspace to help with rolling and wrapping the tortilla later.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
