Ingredients
- 2 cans of tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 gluten-free tortillas

Instructions

Helpful Tips

- 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.
