Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can tuna in water or oil, drained
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup celery chopped
  • 1 boiled egg optional, chopped
  • 1 large whole-wheat or spinach tortilla wrap
  • Lettuce or baby spinach leaves for layering

Method
 

Step 1: Mash the avocado
  1. Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork until mostly smooth. A few small chunks are fine—it adds texture.
Step 2: Mix in the tuna
  1. Add the drained tuna to the bowl and use a fork to break it up. Stir it gently into the mashed avocado.
Step 3: Add the creamy base
  1. Mix in Greek yogurt (or mayo), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until everything comes together.
Step 4: Season it
  1. Add salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch, then adjust as needed.
Step 5: Add some crunch
  1. Toss in the diced red onion and chopped celery. They’ll add freshness and balance the creamy mix.
Step 6: Boost with egg (optional)
  1. If using, chop a boiled egg and gently mix it in. It adds more protein and a rich flavor.
Step 7: Assemble your wrap
  1. Lay your tortilla flat. Add a layer of lettuce or spinach, then spoon the tuna avocado mix evenly on top. Keep some space near the edges.
Step 8: Roll it up
  1. Fold in the sides, roll it tightly, and slice it in half. Enjoy it fresh, or wrap it up for lunch on the go.

Notes

  • You can prep the filling up to 2 days ahead. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of paprika or a few chili flakes.
  • If you want a lighter version, skip the wrap and use crisp romaine lettuce leaves instead.
  • Don’t skip the lemon juice—it keeps the avocado from browning and adds brightness to the flavor.
