Ingredients

→ Wrap Base

01 1/4 cup corn
02 1 can (5 oz) yellowfin or skipjack tuna
03 1/4 cup chopped red onion
04 1 tablespoon lemon juice (squeeze half a lemon)
05 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
06 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
07 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
09 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Assembly

10 1 burrito-sized wrap (12 inches or larger)
11 A sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 cup)
12 A bit of olive oil for cooking

Instructions

Step 01

Throw the tuna (drain it first) into a bowl. Add the yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, corn, onion, relish, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until everything's combined.

Step 02

Heat up the wrap for a moment to make it easier to fold. Spread a thin layer of cheese across it, then spoon on the tuna mix, leaving some space at the edges.

Step 03

Fold the sides inward, tuck the bottom up, and roll it tightly away from yourself. Keep the filling snug as you roll.

Step 04

Add a little olive oil to a pan and cook the wrap for about 3 or 4 minutes on each side. It’s done when the cheese is melted and the outside’s nice and golden.
