Ingredients for the Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap

You’ll need:

• 1 can skipjack or yellowfin tuna (5 oz), drained
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
• Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
• ¼ cup corn (fresh or frozen)
• ¼ cup diced red onion (about ¼ of a small onion)
• 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
• 1 large wrap or burrito-sized tortilla (10 inches or larger)

How to Make Your Tuna Melt Wrap – Step-by-Step Guid

Step 1: Mix the Tuna Filling

Drain the tuna well. In a medium bowl, combine tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well blended.

Step 2: Warm the Tortilla

Heat your tortilla to make it more flexible. Cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. This makes folding easier and prevents cracking.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

Lay the warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese along the edge closest to you, leaving about an inch of space on the sides. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the cheese.

Step 4: Fold and Roll

Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center. Then fold the bottom edge up and tuck in the edges tightly. Roll the wrap away from you, making sure it’s snug.

Step 5: Grill the Wrap

Heat a skillet or grill pan on medium with a little olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted. If it’s cooking too fast, lower the heat.

Tips for Making the Perfect Tuna Melt Wrap

• Use burrito-sized wraps for easier folding and fewer spills.
• Feel free to split the tuna mixture into two smaller wraps if you prefer.
• Try different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor.
• Add fresh spinach or avocado slices for added nutrition and creaminess.
• Want it crispier? Try cooking the wrap in an air fryer at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
