Ingredients
Tuna Mixture
- 1 tin Tuna (drained)
- 1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Chopped Red Onion
- 1 tbsp Chopped Gherkins
- Sriracha to taste (optional)
Wrap and Fillings
- 30 g Grated Cheddar (about ¼ cup)
- 1 Tortilla Wrap
- A handful of fresh spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, sriracha (if using), chopped red onion, and chopped gherkins until evenly combined, creating a flavorful and creamy filling.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay out the tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface. Add a layer of grated cheddar cheese in the center of the wrap to serve as a base for the tuna filling.
- Add Tuna and Spinach: Spoon the prepared tuna mixture evenly over the cheese layer, then top with a generous handful of fresh spinach for added freshness and texture.
- Fold and Roll: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll the wrap tightly to encase all the ingredients securely.
- Toast the Wrap: Heat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the wrap on it and toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Alternatively, use an air fryer set to 5 minutes per side for a crispy texture.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from heat, slice it if desired, and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness level according to your preference.
- Using a sandwich press will give uniform toasting and melting, but a skillet or air fryer works well too.
- Substitute spinach with other leafy greens such as arugula or lettuce for variation.
- For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cheddar or omit the cheese entirely.
- This wrap is ideal for meal-prep; store in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
