Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 can (5 oz) skipjack or yellowfin tuna, drained
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
½ tablespoon Dijon or regular mustard
Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
¼ cup corn
¼ cup red onion, diced (about ¼ of a red onion)
1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheese of choice
1 wrap (at least 10 inches in size—burrito-sized; Siete or La Tortilla Factory recommended)

Directions

Drain the tuna and combine it in a medium bowl with Greek yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, corn, red onion, dill relish (or capers), garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Heat the burrito-sized wrap in the microwave (covered with a damp paper towel) for 10–20 seconds to make it pliable, then lay it flat.
On the end closest to you, layer shredded cheese, leaving about an inch of space along the sides and bottom. Top it with the tuna mixture.
Fold the wrap: fold the sides towards the center, then fold the bottom up and tuck under, rolling the tortilla away from you until fully wrapped.
Heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and press gently. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the wrap and cook for another 2–3 minutes, adjusting to medium-low if needed to prevent over-browning.
Serve immediately.

Servings And Timing

Yield: 1 hearty burrito-sized wrap (or 2 smaller wraps if portioned evenly)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: About 5 minutes
Total Time: Around 10 minutes

Variations

Split the filling to make two smaller wraps using regular-sized tortillas.
Swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Add avocado slices or fresh arugula for creaminess and freshness.
Use capers for a salty tang or replace with chopped pickles if preferred.
Opt for whole wheat or gluten-free wraps to suit dietary needs.

Storage/Reheating

Wraps are best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container and eat within 1–2 days.
To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again.

FAQs

Can I use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, though Greek yogurt keeps it lighter — just swap in equal amount of mayo if preferred.

Can I use canned corn or frozen?

Absolutely—either works. Drain canned corn well; thaw frozen corn if using.

Are capers suitable for those who dislike dill relish?

Yes! Capers add a briny punch that pairs well with the tuna, but you can leave it out if you aren’t a fan.

What cheese melts best?

Mozzarella is great for stretchiness, but cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack all work beautifully.

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

Yes, assemble and refrigerate up to 8 hours ahead—but toast just before eating for best texture.

Can I skip the toasting step?

You can, though toasting gives it texture, warmth, and a comforting melt.

Can I turn it into an open-faced wrap?

Definitely—toast just one side and enjoy it like an open-faced sandwich with a fresh salad.

Is this appropriate for low-carb diets?

Yes—use a low-carb or high‑fiber tortilla for a lighter option.

Can I freeze the assembled wrap?

Not recommended—moisture from the tuna mix may cause sogginess after thawing.

Can I add other vegetables?

Sure! Feel free to mix in diced bell peppers, tomatoes, or cucumber for extra crunch and flavor.

Conclusion

This Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap delivers a perfect balance of creamy tuna, zesty flavors, and melty cheese—all wrapped and toasted in just ten minutes. It’s customizable, tasty, and ideal for lunch, light dinner, or an easy meal on the go.
