# Ingredients:
→ Wrap Ingredients
01 -
1 large flour tortilla or wrap (about 10-inch diameter)
02 -
One 5-ounce can of tuna, well drained
03 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 -
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
05 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
06 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
07 -
1 teaspoon mustard (any kind you prefer)
08 -
1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded cheese (or 1-2 cheese slices)
09 -
Salt and pepper to taste
10 -
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.)
# Instructions:
01 -
Drain the tuna thoroughly and place in a small bowl. Add mayonnaise, pickle relish, chopped celery, chopped onion, and mustard. Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
02 -
If your tortilla feels stiff, place it on a microwave-safe plate covered with damp paper towels. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until it becomes flexible and easier to work with.
03 -
Lay the tortilla on a clean surface. Place the cheese (shredded or sliced) over half of the tortilla, leaving about 1-1½ inches uncovered around the edges. Spread the tuna salad over the cheese, maintaining the same border around the edges.
04 -
Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla to enclose the filling at the ends. While holding these folded sides, fold the edge closest to you up and over the filling. Continue rolling away from you, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat burrito shape.
05 -
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Press gently with a spatula occasionally, but don't move it around. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until the other side is browned and the cheese has melted.
06 -
Remove from the pan, cut in half if desired (a serrated knife works best for a clean cut), and enjoy while hot and melty!
