Ingredients
1 can of skipjack or yellowfin tuna, 5 oz
2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard or regular mustard
Juice of ½ lemon (approximately 1 tablespoon)
¼ cup of corn
¼ cup of diced red onion (around ¼ of a red onion)
1 tablespoon of dill relish or capers
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese or your preferred cheese
1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito-sized); Siete or La Tortilla Factory brands are recommended
Instructions
Prepare the Tuna Mixture: Start by draining the tuna well to avoid excess moisture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, ensuring a creamy, cohesive texture. Stir in ½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard, for a subtle heat, or regular mustard for a milder option. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice for brightness.
Add the Crunch: To this mixture, fold in ¼ cup of sweet corn and ¼ cup of finely diced red onion. These additions offer texture and a pleasant crunch alongside their mild, sweet bite. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Enhance the Flavor: Integrate 1 tablespoon of dill relish or capers, which inject a tangy, briny element. Incorporate ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to season every bite.
Cheese and Wrap: Lightly sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, or your preferred choice, over the mixture, ensuring a good melt. Opt for low-moisture to prevent sogginess. Choose a durable wrap, such as Siete or La Tortilla Factory, no less than 10 inches, providing ample room for folding without tearing.
Wrap Assembly: On a flat, clean surface, lay out your wrap. Spoon the tuna mixture at its center, forming a modest mound. Fold the sides over the filling snugly, then roll tightly towards you to maintain integrity, ensuring the edges do not seep out.
Grill to Perfection: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down to seal it, grilling until golden brown and crisp on both sides, cheese melting smoothly and aromas enhancing.
