Delicious and healthy, this toasted tuna salad wrap is a twist on the classic tuna salad sandwich. Swapping bread for a tortilla wrap and toasting it to perfection, you get a warm and hearty meal. The crunchy lettuce adds a refreshing touch, making it perfect any time of day. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can (5 oz.) tuna in water, drained
  • 2 large tortilla wraps
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large lettuce leaves (e.g., Romaine or Iceberg)
  • Optional: sliced pickles or capers for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna Salad: (5 minutes) In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, diced celery, and diced red onion. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, mix in sliced pickles or capers.
  2. Assemble the Wrap: (3 minutes) Lay out the tortilla wraps on a flat surface. Place two lettuce leaves in the middle of each wrap. Evenly divide and spread the tuna salad mixture over the lettuce.
  3. Toast the Wrap: (2 minutes) Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the assembled wrap (folded side down first) on the skillet. Toast until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute. Carefully flip and toast the other side for an additional 1 minute or until golden brown.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat. Slice the wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor and added creaminess, consider spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise or mashed avocado on the inside of the tortilla before adding the tuna salad. If you’re mindful of your carbohydrate intake or looking for a more nutritious option, a low-carb or whole grain tortilla could be an excellent substitute. And if you enjoy a hint of spice in your meals, adding a dash of hot sauce or incorporating some chopped jalapeños into your tuna salad mix might just give you the kick you’re looking for. Whatever variations you opt for, this toasted tuna salad wrap is bound to be a delightful treat for lunch or dinner.
