Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can of tuna, drained
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly, ensuring all excess liquid is removed. Transfer the tuna to a medium mixing bowl.
- In the same bowl, add mayonnaise and soy sauce to the tuna. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined, creating a smooth tuna mixture.
- Prepare the fresh vegetables by washing and patting dry the cucumber and carrots. Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and shred the carrots using a grater or julienne peeler.
- Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely, ensuring uniform small pieces for even distribution in the wrap.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spread the tuna mixture evenly in the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute the shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and chopped cilantro evenly over the tuna mixture.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly from bottom to top, creating a secure wrap.
- Optional: Cut the wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for a portable meal. Can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
Tips
- Enhance the Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of lime juice or a dash of sriracha to the tuna mixture. This will elevate the flavors and give your wrap a delightful zing.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to experiment with other vegetables! Bell peppers, avocado, or even shredded cabbage can add additional texture and flavor to your wrap.
- Make It Ahead: If you're meal prepping, you can prepare the tuna mixture and chop the vegetables in advance. Just assemble your wraps when you're ready to eat for the freshest taste.
- Warm Tortillas: Warming your tortillas not only makes them easier to roll but also enhances their flavor. A quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave or a minute in a skillet does wonders!
- Perfect Presentation: For a beautiful presentation, arrange your wraps on a platter and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges. It makes for an inviting dish that’s perfect for sharing!
