Ingredients
  

Tuna & avocado salad base
  • 2 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup cucumber, diced small
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Wraps
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Make the tuna avocado mixture
  1. In a large bowl, mash the avocados with fresh lemon juice until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining.
  2. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and stir to combine.
  3. Add the drained tuna and fold gently until evenly coated—do not over-mix.
  4. Fold in red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
Warm tortillas
  1. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable.
Assemble and roll
  1. Lay each tortilla flat and place a layer of shredded romaine lettuce down the center.
  2. Spoon a generous portion of tuna avocado mixture over the lettuce.
  3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
  4. Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for lunchboxes.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the avocado chunky so the filling stays creamy but not paste-like. Store wrapped portions in the fridge up to 2 days; for best texture, keep tortillas separate from fillings if possible. Freezing isn’t recommended because fresh avocado and vegetables soften after thawing. Dietary swap: use gluten-free tortillas if you need a gluten-free lunch wrap.
