Ingredients

1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin)

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

¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)

1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito sized)

Instructions

Step 1: Drain the tuna thoroughly. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2: Soften the wrap by covering it with a damp paper towel and microwaving it for 10-20 seconds. Place it flat on a clean surface and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese along the edge closest to you, leaving some space on the sides and bottom.

Step 3: Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the cheese layer on the wrap.

Step 4: Fold the sides of the wrap toward the center, then fold up the bottom edge and tuck in the edges to secure the filling. Roll the wrap tightly away from you to close it completely.

Step 5: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Place the wrap seam-side down on the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently a few times to help it brown evenly. Flip the wrap and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust heat to medium-low if it browns too quickly.

Tips & Variations

Use a burrito-sized wrap for easier rolling and more filling. Alternatively, split the mixture between two smaller tortillas to make two smaller wraps.

Swap mozzarella for your favorite melting cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.

Add chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for extra freshness.

For extra crunch, include some diced celery or bell pepper in the tuna mixture.

FAQs

Can I use canned tuna in water instead of skipjack or yellowfin tuna?

Yes, canned tuna in water works well and will result in a lighter flavor and texture. Just be sure to drain it thoroughly before mixing.

What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?

You can replace Greek yogurt with mayonnaise or a dairy-free alternative if you prefer, though Greek yogurt keeps the wrap healthier and adds a nice tang.
