Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Tuna (canned, packed in water)
- 2 tablespoons Pesto sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Spinach or lettuce leaves
- 2 large (10-inch) Whole wheat tortillas
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 piece Cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese (optional, e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
Instructions
Drain the can of tuna thoroughly and transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the pesto sauce and mayonnaise to the tuna. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir again to incorporate.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the cucumber into strips or small rounds.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 2 spinach or lettuce leaves in the center of the tortilla as a base layer.
Spoon half of the tuna mixture evenly over the lettuce leaves.
Arrange half of the sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on top of the tuna mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese if desired.
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top to form a secure wrap.
Repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier serving, or enjoy whole.
