Spicy Tuna Wrap Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon roasted red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce, diced into bite-size cubes

How to Make Spicy Tuna Wrap

  • Flake tuna: Drain the tuna and flake it into fine chunks.
  • Slice veggies: Thinly slice the red pepper and avocado, and dice the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, roasted red pepper flakes, salt, lemon juice, and veggies. Stir well until evenly mixed.
  • Prepare tortilla: Lay a tortilla flat on a surface.
  • Add filling: Scoop the tuna mixture onto one side of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches from the edge.
  • Roll wrap: Tightly roll the tortilla, folding in the edges, and repeat for the second wrap.
  • Serve: Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

  • For extra crunch, consider adding shredded carrots or cucumber.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your spice preference.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Pair with a dipping sauce like extra Sriracha or soy sauce for added flavor.

Storage Instructions

  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate to maintain freshness.
  • To prevent the tortillas from getting soggy, store the filling separately and assemble just before eating.
