Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 can (5 ounces/142 grams) skipjack or yellowfin tuna
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1/4 cup corn
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
Wrap and Cheese:
- 1 burrito-sized wrap (at least 10 inches)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooking Ingredient:
- Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend drained tuna with tangy yogurt, zesty mustard, bright lemon juice, sweet corn kernels, finely chopped onion, pickle relish, aromatic garlic powder, and cracked black pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Gently warm the tortilla for enhanced pliability, ensuring it remains soft and flexible.
- Strategically place shredded cheese as the initial layer across the tortilla’s surface, followed by an even distribution of the prepared tuna mixture, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent spillage during rolling.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s side edges inward, then lift the bottom section and tightly roll the wrap away from yourself, creating a compact and secure package.
- Heat a skillet with a light coating of oil over medium temperature, positioning the wrap seam-side down.
- Grill the wrap for 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating carefully to achieve a golden-brown exterior and ensure the cheese melts completely into the filling.
- Remove from heat, let rest briefly, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Choose low-fat Greek yogurt for a healthier twist that keeps the filling creamy and protein-packed.
- Drain tuna thoroughly to prevent soggy wrap and ensure a crisp, golden exterior when grilling.
- Swap regular tortillas with gluten-free or whole wheat options to accommodate different dietary needs and boost nutritional value.
- Add fresh herbs like dill or chives for an extra layer of flavor that brightens the entire wrap.
