how to make Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap

Ingredients:

1 can skipjack tuna, 5 oz (or yellowfin)
2 Tbsp Greek yogurt
½ Tbsp dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
½ lemon, juice of (about 1 Tbsp)
¼ cup corn
¼ cup red onion, diced (about 1/4 of a red onion)
1 Tbsp dill relish (or capers)
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
1 wrap, at least 10 inches in size (burrito sized)

Directions:

Drain the tuna from the can.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything together well.
To soften the wrap, heat a burrito-sized wrap or tortilla. Cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave for about 10-20 seconds.
Place the heated wrap on a clean work surface. Add a layer of shredded cheese at the end of the wrap closest to you, leaving at least an inch of space on the sides and bottom.
Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
To wrap it, fold the sides of the tortilla toward the middle, then fold the bottom up and tuck the edges under. Roll the wrap away from you to the edge.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down on the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, gently pressing down a couple of times while it heats.
Flip the wrap and heat for another 2-3 minutes. If it cooks too quickly, lower the heat to medium-low.
Enjoy your Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap!
