Step by step process for making Mediterranean Tuna Wrap

How to Make Mediterranean Tuna Wrap

  1. Mix. Combine drained tuna, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork and stir until evenly dressed.
  2. Add. Fold in the diced cucumber, sliced olives, and crumbled feta. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Roll. Lay each tortilla flat. Add a handful of greens, then pile the tuna mixture down the center. Fold and roll tightly.
  4. Serve. Cut in half and serve right away, or wrap in foil for a packed lunch.

Tips for the Best Mediterranean Tuna Wrap

  • Use solid white albacore tuna for the best texture and flavor.
  • Drain the tuna really well. Excess liquid makes the wrap soggy.
  • Olive oil and lemon replace mayo here. It keeps the wrap lighter and fresher tasting.
  • Warm the tortilla for a few seconds so it is pliable.
  • Add a thin layer of hummus on the tortilla before the filling for extra creaminess.

Fun Variations to Try

  • Spread hummus on the tortilla before adding the tuna for extra richness.
  • Add roasted red peppers for sweetness.
  • Use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla for a low-carb version.
  • Swap tuna for canned chickpeas to make it vegetarian.
  • Add artichoke hearts for a more complex Mediterranean flavor.
