Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Filling
  • 1 can tuna, drained Wild-caught chunk light or solid albacore recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or mayonnaise Use 1 to 2 tablespoons for creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice For acidity.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard For seasoning.
  • 1 pinch salt To taste.
  • 1 pinch black pepper To taste.
  • 1 pinch paprika For seasoning.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery For crunch.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion For flavor.
For the Wrap
  • 1 large whole grain tortilla Or low-carb/gluten-free wrap.
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Can substitute with Swiss or provolone.
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach Optional fresh add-in.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain tuna well and flake it in a bowl.
  2. Stir in Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Fold in celery and onion.
Cooking
  1. Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for 15 to 20 seconds per side.
  2. Place the tortilla on a board, then add a light handful of baby spinach in the center.
  3. Spoon the tuna mixture onto the spinach and top with shredded cheese.
  4. Fold the sides in, then roll it up snugly from the bottom into a burrito shape.
  5. Toast seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese melts.
  6. Let it rest for a minute before cutting so the filling sets.

Notes

For a lighter option, use thin slices or a sprinkle of shredded cheese. If packed for later, wrap in foil and reheat in a skillet to maintain crunch. Pair with a salad or soup for a balanced meal.
