Equipment
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin)
- 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- ½ tablespoon 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 tablespoon dill relish (or capers)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or melty cheese of choice)
- 1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito-sized)
Instructions
- Drain the tuna and flake it in a medium bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
- Heat a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla to make it more pliable by covering it with a damp paper towel and microwaving it for about 10-20 seconds. Place it on a clean working space. Add a layer of shredded cheese on the end of the wrap closest to you, leaving at least an inch of space on the sides and bottom edge. Add the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
- To wrap, fold sides of tortilla toward the middle. Then fold the bottom of the tortilla and tuck the edges of the wrap under. Roll the tortilla away from you to the edge.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan on medium heat and add a little olive oil. Place the wrap on the hot grill pan or skillet, seam side down. Let it heat for about 3-4 minutes, gently pressing on it a couple of times while it heats. Flip the wrap and heat another 2-3 minutes. If it's cooking too quickly, lower to medium-low heat.
- Hint: Use a burrito sized wrap or tortilla! If you prefer, make it into 2 smaller wraps by dividing the tuna mixture between two smaller regular sized tortillas.

Expert Advice
- If the tuna mixture is dry, add more fresh lemon juice.
- Be sure to have a clear work surface to wrap on.
- Keep the ingredients in the center of the tortilla for easy wrapping.
- Using a grill pan gives you appealing grill marks and makes for a crispy exterior.
- You can also heat it in the air fryer at 375℉ (190°C) for 3-4 minutes.
- To cut down on the sodium, use low sodium tuna and a wrap that is lower in sodium.
- This Tuna Melt Wrap is best eaten fresh. If you want to store leftovers, secure half of the wrap tightly in a piece of foil and store in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat on the skillet, in the air fryer, or in the microwave.
