Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 5 oz drained canned tuna, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped dill, 1/4 cup diced celery, and 1 tbsp minced red onion. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper, mixing until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Step 2: Lay 4 whole-wheat tortillas flat. Divide the tuna mixture evenly across each tortilla, spreading it into a 6-inch rectangle in the center.
  3. Step 3: Top each with 1/2 cup mixed greens. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling.
  4. Step 4: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. Optional: squeeze extra lemon juice over the top for brightness.
