Tuna Salad
Wrap Assembly
Method
Tuna Salad
- 1
Prepare tuna
Open and drain the canned tuna thoroughly. Transfer tuna to a medium mixing bowl and flake with a fork to break up large chunks.
- 2
Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Stir until combined and creamy.
- 3
Fold in the finely diced celery, minced red onion, and chopped capers (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
- 4
Add fresh lemon juice, chopped dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning—add up to another 1/4 tsp salt or a squeeze more lemon if desired.
- 5
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld (optional, but recommended if time allows).
Wrap Assembly
- 6
If you chilled the tuna salad, remove it from the refrigerator. Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface.
- 7
Place 2 lettuce leaves in the center of each tortilla, leaving room at the edges for folding.
- 8
Season the tomato slices lightly with the 1/8 tsp salt and pinch of black pepper, then arrange 3–4 tomato slices over the lettuce on each wrap.
- 9
If using cucumber, layer a few thin slices on top of the tomato.
- 10
Divide the tuna salad evenly among the four tortillas, spooning about 3 oz (roughly 3 heaping tablespoons) onto each—adjust quantity to taste.
- 11
To fold: fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, fold both sides in toward the center, then continue rolling away from you to form a tight wrap. Tuck in the ends as you roll to secure the filling.

Serve immediately. Leftover tuna salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
