how to make Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap

Ingredients:

1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin)
2 Tbsp Greek yogurt
½ Tbsp dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
½ lemon, juice of (about 1 Tbsp)
¼ cup corn
¼ cup red onion, diced (about 1/4 of a red onion)
1 Tbsp dill relish (or capers)
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito sized)

Directions:

Drain Tuna: Start by draining the tuna from the can.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Prepare the Wrap: Heat a burrito-sized wrap in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel. This makes it easier to roll.
Layer the Wrap: Place the heated wrap on a clean surface. Add a layer of shredded cheese at one end, leaving space on the sides and bottom edge. Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold the bottom up and tuck the edges. Roll the tortilla away from you to close it.
Cook the Wrap: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing gently as it heats. Flip the wrap and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. If it cooks too quickly, lower the heat to medium-low.

Hint:

Use a burrito-sized wrap for the best results! You can also divide the tuna mixture between two smaller wraps if you prefer.
