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 ¼ of a red onion)
- 1 Tbsp dill relish (or capers)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Other Ingredients
- 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 everything well to create a flavorful filling.
- Soften the wrap: Place the burrito-sized wrap on a plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and microwave it for 10-20 seconds to make it more pliable for rolling.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay the softened wrap flat on a clean surface. On the end of the wrap closest to you, evenly spread a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving about an inch of space on the sides and bottom edges. Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese layer.
- Roll the wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold the bottom edge up and tuck the edges under. Roll the tortilla tightly away from you until fully wrapped, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
- Grill the wrap: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush or drizzle with olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down on the skillet. Press gently with a spatula and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Flip the wrap and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the whole wrap is heated through. If it browns too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice if desired, and enjoy your warm, cheesy Tuna Melt Wrap immediately.
Notes
- Use a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla to easily hold all the filling; alternatively, divide the tuna mixture between two smaller tortillas for smaller wraps.
- You can substitute mozzarella with your favorite cheese such as cheddar or provolone for a different flavor.
- Dill relish can be replaced with capers or finely chopped pickles for added tanginess.
- For extra crispiness, consider using a panini press instead of a skillet.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 1 day; reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
