Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 can (5 oz/140 g) tuna, drained
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red or green onion
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped celery (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh spinach or arugula leaves (optional)
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter (for grilling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Blend canned tuna with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red onion, and celery, seasoning with salt and pepper for a zesty, flavorful mixture.
- Assemble Wrap: Spread tortillas flat, distribute tuna mixture centrally, then layer with shredded cheese, tomato slices, and spinach or arugula for robust flavor and texture.
- Wrap Technique: Fold tortilla sides inward, creating a compact envelope, then roll tightly to seal ingredients securely.
- Cooking Process: Heat skillet with olive oil or butter over medium temperature, place wrap seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until achieving a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Finalize Cooking: Flip wrap, continue cooking until both sides are evenly crisp and cheese melts completely, creating a delectable, golden-brown surface.
- Serve Presentation: Cut wraps diagonally, plate immediately with accompanying salad, soup, or chips for a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Tuna Freshness Check: Use high-quality, well-drained canned tuna for the best flavor and texture in your wrap.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Shred cheese finely and let it sit at room temperature before adding to ensure smooth, even melting.
- Wrap Rolling Technique: Keep tortilla edges tucked tightly to prevent filling from falling out during cooking and ensure a neat presentation.
- Heat Control Mastery: Maintain medium heat to achieve a crispy golden-brown exterior without burning the tortilla or overcooking the filling.
