Steps

1

Drain the tuna thoroughly, then mix it in a bowl with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make tuna salad.

~2 min

Why: The lemon juice cuts the tuna's fishiness and adds brightness.

2

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, slice it, and lightly mash.

~2 min

3

Thinly slice the red onion and rinse and dry the lettuce.

~2 min

4

Warm the tortilla in a pan or microwave, then layer on lettuce, avocado, tuna salad, and red onion in order.

~2 min

5

Fold in both ends and roll tightly so the filling doesn't spill, then cut in half to finish.

~2 min

Watch out: Piling the filling to one side makes the wrap burst when rolled — spread it in a straight line down the center for a tight roll.

Tips

  • Use an avocado that's slightly firm so the slices hold their shape.

  • Squeeze out all the oil from the tuna so the wrap doesn't get soggy.

  • For a spicy kick, mix a little sriracha into the mayonnaise.

Storage

Best eaten the day it's made; if storing, wrap tightly and eat within half a day.
