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 Assembly
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito sized)
- 1 tsp olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Warm the Wrap: To make the wrap pliable, cover a burrito-sized tortilla with a damp paper towel and microwave it for 10-20 seconds. This softens the wrap, making it easier to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place the warm tortilla on a clean flat surface. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on the edge closest to you, leaving about an inch of space along the sides and bottom. Spoon the prepared tuna mixture evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Fold and Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold the bottom edge up, tucking the edges in as you start rolling the wrap away from you. Roll it 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 a few times and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Flip the wrap and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes. If the wrap browns too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low to avoid burning.
Notes
- Use a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla for easy folding and a satisfying portion size.
- If preferred, divide the tuna mixture between two smaller tortillas for smaller wraps.
- Substitute mozzarella with your favorite cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for varied flavor.
- Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard and lemon juice to taste for more tanginess.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or vegetable sticks for a complete meal.
