Ingredients

• 2 cans of tuna, drained
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 gluten-free tortillas
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until the tuna is well-coated.
2. Add in the finely chopped red onion, celery, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Ensure the flavors are balanced to your preference.
4. Lay the gluten-free tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the shredded lettuce evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center.
5. Spoon generous portions of the tuna salad mixture over the lettuce on each tortilla.
6. Top with the cherry tomato halves, distributing them evenly across the tortillas.
7. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
8. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, preferably on a lovely floral-patterned plate to mirror the coastal ambience.

Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead: The tuna salad can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator to save time.
• Variations: Add diced pickles or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing.
• Beginner-Friendly: Use pre-chopped vegetables to make the preparation even quicker.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assembled wraps are best enjoyed immediately but can be wrapped in plastic and chilled for a few hours if needed.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have gluten-free tortillas, whole wheat or regular tortillas work just as well. For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

Pairings

Pair these scrumptious wraps with a side of roasted sweet potato fries or a refreshing cucumber salad. A glass of iced green tea or a chilled lemonade complements the flavors beautifully.
