Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (5–6 oz each) tuna in water, drained well

- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped (or green onion)

- 1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or your favorite cheese (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for warming the wrap)
Instructions
- Open and drain the tuna. Flake it into a medium bowl with a fork.
- Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in chopped celery and red onion. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for 5–10 minutes if time permits.
- Warm a tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side or until soft.
