Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 oz) skipjack tuna or yellowfin tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- ¼ cup corn
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large burrito-sized tortilla or wrap
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Drain the tuna and place it in a medium bowl.
- Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Warm the tortilla in the microwave for 10–20 seconds under a damp paper towel to make it easier to roll.
- Lay the tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella near the bottom edge and top with the tuna mixture.
- Fold in the sides, tuck the bottom edge over the filling, and roll tightly into a wrap.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until crispy and the cheese has melted.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a burrito-sized tortilla for the easiest wrapping.
Add extra lemon juice if the tuna mixture seems dry.
Mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone all work well.
For an air fryer version, cook at 356°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes.
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for 1–2 days.
