Step 3

Pro Tips for Perfect Tuna Salad Wraps
- Chill the Tuna Salad: If you have time, refrigerate the tuna salad for 30 minutes before wrapping. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Extra Crunch: Add some chopped pickles, cucumbers, or bell peppers for more crunch and flavor.
- Wrap it Tightly: Make sure to fold the sides of the tortilla in tightly when wrapping to avoid any filling spilling out.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh celery and onions really elevate the taste of the tuna salad.
FAQs
- Can I make this wrap ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the tuna salad ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just assemble the wrap when you’re ready to eat.
- What can I add to the tuna salad? You can add extra veggies like shredded carrots, bell peppers, or cucumbers, or even mix in some cheese for added flavor.
- Can I use a different dressing? Absolutely! You can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise, or even use a combination of both, or add some lemon juice for a fresher flavor.
- How do I store leftovers? Store the leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the wraps separate until you’re ready to eat.
Creative Variations
- Spicy Tuna Wrap: Add a bit of sriracha sauce or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Mediterranean Tuna Wrap: Mix in some olives, cucumber, and feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist.
- Avocado Tuna Salad Wrap: Add sliced avocado to the salad for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- Tuna Salad Bowl: If you prefer not to wrap it, serve the tuna salad on a bed of lettuce or greens for a lighter, low-carb option.
