Canned tuna is a staple in many kitchens, and for good reason. It is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. A typical serving of tuna contains around 20 grams of protein, making it a perfect choice for those looking to increase their protein intake without added calories. Additionally, tuna is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which play a crucial role in heart health by reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure. These healthy fats are also known for their positive effects on brain function and development.

Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained

1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or substitute with mayonnaise for a richer flavor)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 small cucumber, diced into small pieces

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Fresh lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce) for wrapping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and mashed avocado. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lime juice. Mix well using a fork or spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Add Vegetables: Carefully fold in the finely chopped red onion, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro (if using). Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning to achieve a balanced flavor throughout.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface or a cutting board. Place a few lettuce leaves in the center of the tortilla to act as a barrier against moisture, then add a generous scoop of the creamy tuna mixture on top of the lettuce.

        Wrap It Up: Begin by folding the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the ingredients inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are assembled.

          Serve: For a beautiful presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. For a convenient meal option, wrap each one in foil for on-the-go enjoyment. These wraps can also be served cold, making them an excellent choice for meal prep or picnics.
