Ingredients

  

• 1 can of tuna about 5 oz - any type you like! You can go with canned in water or oil.
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise - or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - or yellow mustard if that's what you have on hand.
• 1 celery stalk finely chopped - adds a nice crunch. You can substitute with cucumber if you prefer.
• 1 small carrot grated - or use pre-grated if you're in a hurry!
• Salt and pepper - to taste.
• 4 large tortillas - any flavor you fancy!
• 1 cup of mixed greens or lettuce - for that fresh touch.
• Optional toppings: diced avocado tomato slices, or cheese.

Instructions

 

• Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, throw in your drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, grated carrot, a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. Don’t be shy; taste a little and see if it needs more seasoning!
• Assemble Your Wraps: Grab a tortilla and lay it flat. Load it up with some of that scrumptious tuna salad on one side, add a handful of mixed greens on top (and any optional toppings you wish), and then fold it over, tucking in the sides as you go. Roll it tightly into a big, delicious burrito.
• Slice and Serve: After wrapping it up, cut it in half diagonally for that extra presentation flair. Serve these babies right away and enjoy them to the fullest!
