1 can skipjack or yellowfin tuna, drained

2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

1/4 cup corn

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon dill relish or capers

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 large burrito-size wrap or tortilla

A little olive oil for the pan

Directions

I start by mixing the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, relish or capers, garlic powder, and black pepper in a medium bowl until everything is well combined.

I warm the tortilla for about 10 to 20 seconds under a damp paper towel in the microwave so it becomes soft and easy to fold. Then I lay it flat on a clean surface.

I sprinkle the shredded cheese near the end of the tortilla closest to me, leaving a small border around the edges. Then I spoon the tuna mixture directly over the cheese.

I fold in the sides, bring up the bottom, and roll it tightly into a wrap.

I heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. I place the wrap seam-side down and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes, pressing gently once or twice, until it turns crisp and golden. Then I flip it and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, lowering the heat if it browns too quickly.

Variations

I sometimes swap the mozzarella with cheddar or a spicy cheese for a stronger flavor. When I want extra crunch, I add chopped celery or pickles. If I feel like making it lighter, I use a whole wheat wrap. I can also add a bit of hot sauce or chili flakes when I want some heat.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer eating this wrap fresh because it stays crispy, but if I have leftovers, I wrap it tightly and store it in the fridge for up to one day. When reheating, I use a skillet over low heat to bring back the crisp texture instead of using a microwave.

FAQs

Can I use canned tuna in oil instead of water?

I can use tuna in oil, but I like to drain it well to avoid making the filling too heavy or greasy.

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

I can prepare the tuna mixture ahead, but I assemble and toast the wrap right before eating for the best texture.

What can I use instead of Greek yogurt?

I sometimes replace it with mayonnaise or a mix of mayo and yogurt depending on the flavor I want.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

I skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative, and the wrap still tastes great.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

I make sure not to overfill it and roll it tightly, then place it seam-side down first when cooking to seal it.
