Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Tuna Mixture (5 minutes): In a good-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, and diced onion. Give everything a good stir until it’s all mixed together. You want it creamy and cohesive heavenly! Now sprinkle in a couple pinches of salt and pepper to taste!
Assemble the Wrap (5 minutes): Lay your whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spoon out a generous portion of that yummy tuna mixture right into the center. If you’re going for the slice of cheese, place it on now, along with some fresh lettuce or spinach.
Roll It Up (2 minutes): Fold the sides of the wrap inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom, like you’re creating a burrito. It should be snug but not bursting at the seams!
Toast It (2 minutes, optional): If you want to take it up a notch, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the wrap seam side down and toast for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. You just want it golden and possibly gooey with melted cheese. Smells amazing, right?
Slice and Serve (1 minute): Now, slice that wrap in half, voilà! You can serve it warm or cold, whichever you prefer.
