Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Wrap Base
  • 1 can 5 oz skipjack or yellowfin tuna
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Assembly
  • 1 burrito-sized wrap at least 10 inches
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil for grilling

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Tuna Filling
  2. Drain the can of tuna thoroughly and place in a medium bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish or capers, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients until well combined and the mixture has a consistent texture. The yogurt provides creaminess while the mustard and lemon juice add tanginess.
  3. Prepare the Wrap
  4. Warm the burrito-sized wrap briefly in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. This makes the wrap more pliable and easier to fold. Place the wrap on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the center of the wrap, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
  5. Add Filling and Fold
  6. Spoon the tuna mixture onto the center of the wrap, on top of the cheese. Be careful not to overfill as this can make folding difficult. To fold, bring in both sides of the wrap toward the center. Then, fold the bottom edge up over the filling and continue to roll away from you, keeping the filling tight within the wrap. The goal is to create a secure package that won't come apart during cooking.
  7. Grill the Wrap
  8. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Once hot, place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. The cheese should be melted and the wrap should be crispy and golden. If needed, you can press down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use whole grain wraps which provide more fiber.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise for a richer taste.
  • Add diced celery or bell peppers for extra crunch and nutrients.
  • Canned tuna packed in water is preferable for a lighter option compared to oil-packed tuna.
  • Leftover tuna filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
