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)

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Drain the tuna. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
• Heat a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla. Cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave it for about 10-20 seconds to make it more pliable. Place it on a clean working space.
• Add a layer of shredded cheese at the end of the wrap closest to you, leaving at least an inch of space on the sides and bottom edge.
• Add the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
• To wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla toward the middle. Then, fold the bottom of the tortilla and tuck the edges of the wrap under. Roll the tortilla away from you to the edge.
• Heat a skillet or grill pan on medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the wrap on the hot grill pan or skillet, seam side down. Heat for about 3-4 minutes, gently pressing on it a couple of times while it cooks. Flip the wrap and heat another 2-3 minutes. If it’s cooking too quickly, lower to medium-low heat.
  Hint: Use a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla! For smaller portions, divide the tuna mixture between two smaller regular-sized tortillas.
