Ingredients:
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water or oil, drained and flaked
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (or a mix of both)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice (or more to taste)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 2 large tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or flour)
- Optional: sliced tomatoes, pickles, or sprouts for extra crunch
Instructions:
- Make the tuna mixture: In a bowl, combine the flaked tuna, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Add the chopped celery and red onion, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the lemon juice if needed for more brightness.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread the tuna mixture evenly in the center of each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with slices of avocado, cucumber, and a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens. Add any optional toppings like tomatoes or sprouts for extra texture.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil or parchment paper for an easy grab-and-go lunch.
These tuna wraps are a perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and fresh, making them a great option for lunch, dinner, or even a picnic. You can add variations by including your favorite veggies, like shredded carrots or bell peppers, or spice them up with a sprinkle of chili flakes or hot sauce.
