Drain the canned tuna and place it into a large mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork.
Wash and finely dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and slice the black olives. Add them to the tuna mixture.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and mix gently to combine all ingredients.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the mix.
In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of the lemon, add salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the salt is dissolved.
Pour the lemon dressing over the tuna mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Place a whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and tucking in the sides as you go.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cut each roll in half diagonally and serve immediately.
