Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients: drained tuna, mayonnaise, finely chopped red onion, diced jalapeños (along with their brine), chopped dill, diced cucumber, and Tabasco sauce.
Mix in a Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and mayonnaise. Use a fork to break up the tuna into smaller pieces. This will ensure that it mixes well with the other ingredients.
Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Next, add the finely chopped red onion, jalapeños, dill, and cucumber to the bowl. Drizzle in the Tabasco sauce. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Thoroughly: Using a spatula or spoon, mix everything together gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. This will create a flavorful filling that packs a punch.
Store the Filling: If you’re not using the filling immediately, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well for up to three days, making it great for meal prep.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Prepare Your Tortillas: Lay out two large tortilla wraps on a clean, flat surface. If they are slightly cold, you can warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
Add the Filling: Evenly distribute half of the tuna filling onto each wrap, spreading it out to cover about two-thirds of the tortilla. Leave the top third free to make rolling easier.
Top with Lettuce: Sprinkle a generous amount of finely shredded Little Gem lettuce over the filling. This will add a refreshing crunch and contrast nicely with the creamy tuna mixture.
Roll the Wraps: Starting from the bottom (the end with the filling), carefully roll the tortilla towards the top, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Make sure to roll tightly but not so tight that the filling squeezes out.
Wrap for Freshness: Once you’ve rolled each tortilla, wrap them individually in baking parchment. This not only helps keep them fresh but also makes them easy to handle when you’re ready to eat.
Step 3: Storage and Enjoyment
Pack for Lunch: Place the wrapped tuna wraps into a lunchbox. They can be kept in the refrigerator or in a cool bag if you’re on the go.
Ready to Eat: These wraps are best enjoyed within a few hours for maximum freshness, but they can be stored in the fridge for up to three days if needed. When you’re ready to eat, simply unwrap and enjoy the flavorful, zesty tuna wrap!
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious and nutritious lunch option that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion!
