Ingredients
Scale
Tuna Salad:
- 1 large flour tortilla or wrap (about 10-inch diameter)
- one 5-ounce can of tuna (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon mustard (any kind)
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded cheese (or 1 – 2 slices cheese)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.)
Instructions
- Make the tuna salad: Drain the tuna well and add it to a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, pickle relish, finely chopped celery, finely chopped onion, and mustard to the bowl. Mix well to combine. Season the tuna salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the wrap:
Optional pre-step: If the tortilla or wrap feels stiff or brittle, place it on a microwave-safe plate and cover the top with damp paper towels. Microwave it on high for 15 – 20 seconds, until flexible.
Set out the tortilla/wrap on a clean work surface. Arrange the shredded or sliced cheese over half of the tortilla (the side facing you), leaving about 1 – 1 1/2 inch(es) of the tortilla/wrap uncovered around the edges. Place the tuna salad on top of the cheese and spread it out so it covers most of the cheese. Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla/wrap that are next to the filling, enclosing the tuna and cheese at the ends. While holding in the folded sides, fold the edge of the wrap that is closest to you up and over the filling. Continue to roll the wrap away from you, tucking the left and right sides in as you roll, forming a burrito shape. - Cook the tuna melt wrap: Drizzle the oil into a skillet set over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the tuna wrap to the pan, seam-side down. Let the tuna wrap cook for 3 – 4 minutes, or until browned underneath. Flip the tuna wrap and cook for an additional 3 – 4 minutes. Remove the wrap from the pan, cut it in half (optional), and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Shredded or sliced cheese will work for this tuna wrap, and you can use any type of cheese you like that melts well.
- If you would like to cut the tuna melt wrap in half, using a serrated knife with a gentle back-and-forth motion will work well.
- Leftovers can be stored tightly wrapped in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Enjoy the leftovers cold or reheat in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2 – 3 minutes per side.
