Tuna Wrap

March 20, 2024

When you’re short on time but still want a satisfying, nutritious meal, a tuna wrap is one of the easiest solutions. It’s fresh, fast, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re prepping lunch for work or making a quick dinner, this wrap delivers on both flavor and convenience.

The base of this recipe is simple: canned tuna, your favorite wrap or tortilla, and a mix of crunchy vegetables. Start with a high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil. Drain it well and mix it with a little mayo or Greek yogurt, depending on how creamy you like it. A touch of Dijon mustard or lemon juice can add a tangy kick.

From there, load it up with color and texture. Crisp romaine or baby spinach adds freshness, while thinly sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and bell peppers give crunch and sweetness. Red onions or pickles can bring a bit of zing, too.

Want to make it heartier? Add some cooked quinoa or chickpeas. Need a bit more flavor? Throw in some chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs like parsley or dill. The beauty of a tuna wrap is how easily it adapts to what you have on hand.

Lay your tortilla flat, layer your tuna mixture and veggies, then roll it up tightly. If you’re not eating it right away, wrap it in foil or parchment paper to keep everything together. It holds up well in the fridge for a few hours, making it a great option for meal prep.

This tuna wrap checks all the boxes: it’s light but filling, healthy but satisfying, and comes together in less than 10 minutes. Serve it with a side of fruit, some chips, or a simple salad, and you’ve got a balanced meal without the fuss. Whether you’re fueling up for the day or winding down with a simple dinner, this wrap is a no-fail favorite.

Tuna wraps are perfect for on-the-go meals or packed lunches. Busy individuals who need a quick and nutritious meal find tuna wraps ideal because they are easy to assemble and can be prepared ahead of time.

Tuna wraps can be a lower-calorie option compared to sandwiches made with heavier fillings like deli meats or mayonnaise-based salads. By using light or water-packed tuna and loading up on veggies, you can create a filling and satisfying wrap without excess calories.

Tuna is a good source of several important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and potassium. These nutrients play various roles in supporting overall health, from promoting bone health to regulating blood pressure.

    Whatcha mean, ‘mix well’? Do you just stir or what? My wrap fell apart. 😩

    1. 4 stars
      Mixing means stir it all together like you would make a salad! But try not to tear the tortillas when you roll them. Good luck next time!

    I thought it was too wet with that much mayo. Next time I’ll cut back a little.

    This is not a wrap, its just a tuna salad in a tortilla. Disappointing.

    Not a fan of feta. Could I use cheddar cheese instead?

    Can I use-salmon instead? I don’t like tuna. Does it matter?

    I don’t like vegetables, but I tried this with just the tuna and mayo, and it wasn’t bad! 😅

    Too many ingredients for a simple wrap. Isn’t it just tuna on bread?

    Tuna is bad for you! Too much mercury. You should eat chicken instead!

    Pretty good but needs more flavor, like maybe some lemon juice? 3/5

    Very easy to make, but I added hot sauce to spice it up! 🔥

      Hot sauce sounds like a great touch! I love spicing things up. Can’t wait to try it!

      Really? You put hot sauce? Seems a little weird for tuna wraps, but whatever floats your boat.

    I tried this recipe and it was a total disaster. The wrap fell apart!

    I used Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Still came out good!

  20. User avatar elbert.hansen1985 says:

    Instructions were clear, but my mix got a bit watery. Should I drain the tuna more? 🤔

  21. User avatar vonnie.anderson says:

    Do you have to use whole wheat tortillas? I only have flour ones.

  22. User avatar Lisha Schumm Jr. says:

    I don’t think tuna and feta go together at all. Might just stick to plain tuna wraps.

    1. User avatar basementDweller says:

      4 stars
      I think feta adds a nice tangy flavor that complements the tuna! You should give it a try!

    My husband said it was too fishy. Maybe less tuna next time.

    1. User avatar ervin.dicki54 says:

      4 stars
      Maybe try adding some more veggies or spices? It can help balance the fishy taste a bit.

    2. User avatar steve_maga says:

      2 stars
      What? Too fishy? It’s tuna, what do ya expect? Just add somethin like mayo!

  31. User avatar ShanksOnePiece says:

    Tuna is the best fish! I add avocado to mine for some extra creaminess.

    1. User avatar doretta.larson96 says:

    This was way too salty for me. You should definitely cut down on the olives.

    Eh. Isn’t tuna salad usually with celery and grape or something like that? This ain’t it.

    I don’t know about this… tins of tuna and mayo? Not for me.

    1. User avatar coreen.reinger54 says:

      2 stars
      Yea, that sounds gross. Who puts tuna and mayo together? Maybe it tastes better than it sounds, though.

    2. User avatar matthew.bogisich50 says:

      4 stars
      I totally get that, tuna and mayo can be a weird combo! But you could try it with chicken or something else if you’re not into it!

  37. 2 stars
    Not sure about this. Tuna and feta? Seems weird.

  38. User avatar Random Dent says:

    Simple and quick, but the mayo was too much for me. Next time I’m gonna reduce it.

      I dunno, tuna wraps seem kinda boring. I like more flavor, you know? Maybe try adding some spice next time!
