Ingredients

• ½ yellow bell pepper, diced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 2 ribs of celery, diced
• ½ red onion, diced
• ½ roma tomato, diced
• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce, sliced
• 2 (5 oz) cans of tuna, drained
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• ⅓ cup Mayonnaise
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 4 medium sized wraps

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced yellow bell pepper, sliced green onions, diced celery, diced red onion, diced roma tomato, and sliced iceberg lettuce. This vibrant mix of vegetables will provide a delightful crunch and freshness to your wraps.
2. Add the drained tuna to the bowl with the vegetables. Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.
3. In the same bowl, add the yellow mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. These ingredients will create a creamy and flavorful dressing that perfectly complements the tuna and vegetables.
4. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well combined. This ensures that every bite is packed with flavor and that the tuna and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Lay out the four medium-sized wraps on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the tuna mixture among the wraps, ensuring each wrap has a generous and balanced filling.
6. Carefully roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a secure and neat package. This will prevent the filling from spilling out while you eat.
7. Slice each wrap in half diagonally. This not only makes them easier to handle but also presents them beautifully.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing and protein-packed Tuna Vegetable Wraps! They are perfect for a quick and healthy lunch, a light dinner, or a convenient on-the-go snack.

Tips and Variations:

• Add a Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tuna mixture for a spicy twist.
• Cheese, Please!: A sprinkle of shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese can add a creamy, cheesy element to your wraps.
• Herb It Up: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or cilantro can elevate the flavor profile of your tuna salad.
• Avocado Magic: Add sliced avocado for extra healthy fats and a creamy texture.
• Wrap Alternatives: If you’re looking for a low-carb option, use large lettuce leaves instead of traditional wraps.
• Make it ahead: Tuna salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
