how to make Healthy Tuna Melt Wrap

Ingredients :

1 can skipjack tuna (5 oz) or yellowfin
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard or regular mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 Tbsp)
1/4 cup corn
1/4 cup red onion (diced, about 1/4 of a red onion)
1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice
1 wrap (at least 10 inches in size)

Directions :

Drain the tuna from the can and place it in a medium bowl. Mix in Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish or capers, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
To soften the wrap, cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave it for about 10-20 seconds.
Place the warmed wrap on a clean surface. On one end of the wrap, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, 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 edge up and tuck the sides in. Roll the wrap away from you until fully wrapped.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down on the hot skillet. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently a few times.
Flip the wrap over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat if it’s cooking too quickly.
Serve hot or store any leftovers in foil in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
