Description
Make a quick spicy tuna wrap. This easy recipe features tuna salad with a kick from sriracha or chili paste, mixed with fresh vegetables and wrapped in a tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or chili paste (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/4 cup finely diced celery
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas or your favorite wraps
- 2 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
- Optional: Sliced cucumber, bell pepper strips, or avocado
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and sriracha or chili paste. Mix well until everything is combined and the tuna is flaked.
- Stir in the finely diced celery, red onion, and shredded carrots. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Lay each tortilla flat. Place a large lettuce leaf on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Spoon half of the spicy tuna mixture onto the center of each lettuce-lined tortilla.
- If using, add additional vegetables like cucumber slices or bell pepper strips on top of the tuna.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
- Cut each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a milder wrap, reduce the amount of sriracha or chili paste.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the tuna mixture for brightness.
- Make this ahead by preparing the tuna salad and storing it in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before serving.
- Use different types of tortillas, such as spinach or tomato, for variety.
