Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Tuna Filling: Drain the tuna and place it in a bowl. Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Warm the Tortilla: Heat the wrap slightly by microwaving it for 10-20 seconds with a damp paper towel. This makes it more pliable.
3. Assemble the Wrap: Lay the tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle shredded cheese near the edge closest to you, leaving space around the sides. Spread the tuna mixture over the cheese.
4. Wrap it Up: Fold the sides toward the center, then fold up the bottom and roll tightly, ensuring the seam is on the bottom.
5. Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat with a touch of olive oil. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half and dig in!

Variations & Customizations

• Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha to the tuna mix.
• Extra Crunch: Toss in diced celery or shredded carrots.
• Low-Carb Option: Swap the tortilla for a large lettuce wrap.
• Dairy-Free: Use a vegan cheese alternative or skip the cheese altogether.
• Gluten-Free: Choose a gluten-free tortilla like Siete brand.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

• Make Ahead: Prepare the tuna salad in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Leftovers: If you have an extra wrap, store it wrapped in foil and reheat in a skillet for best results. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrap soggy.
• Freezing: The tuna mixture alone can be frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using.
