Ingredients
Scale
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 1/4 of a red onion)
- 1 Tbsp dill relish (or capers)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Wrap Assembly
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 burrito-sized wrap, at least 10 inches in size
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare tuna mixture: Drain the tuna thoroughly. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Warm the wrap: Place the burrito-sized wrap on a clean surface. Cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds to make it pliable and easier to fold.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay the warmed wrap flat. Spread a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese along the edge closest to you, leaving at least an inch of space on the sides and bottom. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Fold the wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the middle, then fold up the bottom edge over the filling, tucking in the edges tightly. Roll the wrap away from you to fully enclose the filling.
- Cook the wrap: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down on the pan. Press gently with a spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Adjust heat to medium-low if cooking too fast.
Notes
- Use a burrito-sized wrap for easy folding and melting.
- For smaller servings, split the tuna mixture between two smaller tortillas.
- Substitute mozzarella with your preferred cheese such as cheddar or pepper jack.
- Capers can replace dill relish for a different tangy flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
