Description
A quick and comforting Tuna Melt Wrap filled with creamy tuna, melted cheese, and fresh vegetables, perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 whole wheat wrap or tortilla
- 1 slice of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients and place the drained tuna in a medium mixing bowl. Break the tuna up with a fork until it is flaky but still holds little lumps.
- Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
- Lay the whole wheat wrap on a clean, flat surface. Lightly warm it if preferred.
- Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the center of the wrap, leaving a narrow border around the edges.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
- Add lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes over the cheese.
- Roll the wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, then slice in half to serve.
- If you prefer the cheese melted, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, brush the outside of the wrap with butter or oil, and grill the halves for a couple of minutes per side until golden and the cheese has softened.
Notes
For added flavor, consider stirring in finely chopped celery, using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, or adding herbs like dill or parsley.
