Ingredients
Tuna Mixture
- 1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin), drained
- 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt
- ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
- ½ lemon, juice of (about 1 Tbsp)
- ¼ cup corn
- ¼ cup red onion, diced (about 1/4 of a red onion)
- 1 Tbsp dill relish (or capers)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Wrap
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 wrap, at least 10 inches (burrito sized)
- 1 tsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Mixture: Drain the tuna thoroughly. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
- Soften the Wrap: Lay the burrito-sized wrap on a plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 10-20 seconds to make it pliable and easy to handle.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place the softened wrap on a clean surface. Spread a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese along the edge of the wrap closest to you, leaving about an inch of space on the sides and bottom. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold the bottom edge up over the filling. Tuck in the edges as you roll the wrap away from you tightly to enclose the filling securely.
- Grill the Wrap: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down on the hot pan. Press gently and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low if it browns too quickly.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the pan, let it cool slightly, then slice if desired and serve immediately for a warm, melty, and satisfying lunch.
Notes
- Use a burrito-sized wrap for easier rolling and to hold all filling securely.
- For smaller portions, split the tuna mixture and make two smaller wraps with regular tortillas.
- Substitute mozzarella with your favorite cheese like cheddar or provolone for different flavors.
- Adjust mustard amount to taste for desired tanginess.
- The relish can be swapped with capers for a slightly different tangy flavor.
- Microwaving the wrap briefly makes folding easier and prevents tearing.
