INGREDIENTS
1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss, if preferred)
2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
1 teaspoon olive oil or butter (for grilling)
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Tuna Salad:
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), red onion, celery, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the two tortillas, spreading it down the center of each.
Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture on each wrap.
Roll the Wraps:
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito-style wrap.
Grill the Wraps:
Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
Serve:
Slice the wraps in half and serve warm with a side of salad, pickles, or chips. Enjoy!
