# What You’ll Need:

→ Tuna Salad

01 - 5 oz can tuna in water, drained
02 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
04 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
05 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
07 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Wraps & Filling

08 - 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 2 slices tomato
11 - 1 tablespoon butter for grilling

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and creamy.
02 - Lay tortillas flat. Distribute half the tuna mixture onto the center of each tortilla, spreading evenly. Top each with half the cheddar cheese and tomato slices if desired.
03 - Fold both sides of each tortilla inward toward the center, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a secure cylinder.
04 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
05 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The golden crust on the tortilla creates this irresistible crunch that contrasts perfectly with the creamy tuna inside
  • Everything comes together in fifteen minutes flat but tastes like something from a diner
  • You can keep all the ingredients in your pantry for those days when cooking feels like too much
02 -
  • Press down gently with your spatula while cooking so the tortilla makes good contact with the pan and gets evenly crispy
  • Do not overstuff the wraps or they will burst open when you try to flip them
  • Let the wraps rest for a minute before cutting so the cheese sets slightly and does not all ooze out
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the most even browning and crunch
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded, it melts so much better
