Ingredients
  

For the Wrap
  • 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch diameter) or flavored varieties like spinach or sundried tomato
  • 0.5 teaspoon neutral oil e.g., vegetable or canola
For the Tuna Salad
  • 1 5-ounce can tuna any variety will do
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise opt for low-fat if desired
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or chopped pickles
  • 1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped can substitute with cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped scallions can be a milder alternative
  • 1 teaspoon mustard any kind, Dijon or yellow work well
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.25-0.5 cup shredded cheese e.g., mozzarella, cheddar, or any melting cheese

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Drain the tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Add finely chopped onion, celery, and sweet pickle relish, followed by mayonnaise and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until well combined.
  2. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on one half, leaving space around the edges, then layer your prepared tuna salad on top.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly away from you, tucking in the sides as you go to contain the filling. Ensure the seam is on the bottom.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add neutral oil. Once shimmering, place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip the wrap using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once both sides are toasted, remove from skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut in half if desired and enjoy right away.
