¼ cup Greek yogurt (or light mayo)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

For the Wrap:

1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss cheese)
½ cup fresh spinach or lettuce
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil (for grilling the wrap, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tuna Salad

In a bowl, mix drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, celery, red onion, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of the tortilla.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the cheese.
Top with spinach, tomato slices, and the remaining cheese.
Fold the wrap like a burrito (fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom up).

Step 3: Grill or Toast the Wrap

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil (optional).
Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately with a side of fresh salad, fruit, or a light soup.

Notes

Make it Spicier: Add hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the tuna mixture.
Low-Carb Option: Use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
Dairy-Free Version: Use dairy-free cheese and mayo instead of Greek yogurt.
Best Pairing: Serve with a side of hummus, cucumber salad, or air-fried sweet potato fries.
