I make this tuna melt wrap when I want something quick, satisfying, and packed with protein. It combines creamy, tangy tuna filling with gooey melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy golden tortilla.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 can tuna (5 oz), drained
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup corn
¼ cup red onion, diced
1 tablespoon dill relish or capers
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large burrito-size tortilla wrap
Directions
I start by draining the tuna and placing it in a medium bowl. I add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper, then mix everything until well combined.
I warm the tortilla in the microwave for about 10–20 seconds with a damp paper towel so it becomes soft and easy to roll. Then I lay it flat on my work surface.
I sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese near the bottom of the tortilla, leaving a little space around the edges. I spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the cheese.
I fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom edge and roll it tightly away from me to form a wrap.
I heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. I place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook it for 3–4 minutes, gently pressing as it toasts. I flip it and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
I remove it from the pan, slice it in half if I like, and serve it warm.

Variations
I sometimes swap the mozzarella for cheddar or a spicy cheese for extra flavor. If I want more crunch, I add chopped celery or lettuce. For a lighter version, I use a low-carb tortilla. I also like adding a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes when I want a bit of heat.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftover wrap tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 2 days. When I reheat it, I prefer using a skillet to bring back the crispiness, but I can also use a microwave if I’m in a hurry.
FAQs
Can I use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt?
I can replace Greek yogurt with mayonnaise if I want a richer and more traditional tuna flavor.
Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
I can prepare the tuna mixture ahead, but I like assembling and toasting the wrap fresh for the best texture.
What other cheeses work well in this recipe?
I often use cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend depending on what I have available.
Can I make this recipe low-carb?
I simply use a low-carb or whole wheat tortilla to fit my dietary preference.
Is this recipe good for meal prep?
I find it great for meal prep if I keep the filling separate and assemble the wrap just before eating.
Conclusion
I keep coming back to this tuna melt wrap because it’s quick, nutritious, and incredibly satisfying. It’s one of those simple meals that never feels boring, and I can easily adjust it to match my taste or what I have in my kitchen.
