Reasons You’ll Adore This

• High Protein – An excellent healthy lunch loaded with fiber and 23 grams of protein per serving!
• Healthier Alternative – Creamy avocado serves as a fantastic substitute for mayo in these tuna wraps, and we’re packing it with fresh veggies for a nutritional boost and healthy fats.
• Fast and Simple – This entire meal comes together effortlessly in only 5 minutes with minimal chopping and preparation.
• Taste and Crunch – You’ll adore how incredibly flavorful these spicy tuna wraps are with a satisfying crunch from the fresh veggies.

Essential Ingredients

• tuna – I prefer Albacore tuna because it yields larger chunks that aren’t mushy. You could also opt for canned salmon if you like.
• avocado – you’ll need one ripe avocado to add creaminess and healthy fats as a substitute for the typical mayo.
• sriracha – elevates the heat and spice in these tuna wraps. If sriracha is too spicy for you, feel free to reduce the amount or use a milder sauce.
• dijon mustard – provides a nice zing and creaminess to the tuna mixture.
• veggies – a mix of crunchy celery, red onion, and green onions blend into the tuna, while I thinly slice cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrots for added veggies in the wraps.
• cilantro – a wonderful addition to these wraps, offering a fresh flavor and vibrant color. If you’re not a cilantro fan, substitute with other fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
• salt and pepper – a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
• lettuce – crisp and refreshing in the wrap.
• tortillas – opt for any 8-inch tortillas you prefer, including gluten-free options. I often use whole wheat carb balance tortillas to keep the carbs lower.

Steps to Prepare Spicy Tuna Wraps

1. Chop veggies. Dice the celery, red onion, green onion, and cilantro to combine with the tuna. Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrots into matchsticks to include in the wraps.
2. Prepare spicy tuna. In a small bowl, mash the tuna and avocado together until well-blended. Mix in the sriracha, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, green onions, cilantro, and salt and pepper, combining thoroughly.
3. Assemble wraps. To create the wraps, lay leafy greens on each tortilla, add sliced veggies, and distribute the spicy tuna mixture evenly among them. Tightly roll up the tortillas. Slice and enjoy!

Personalize Your Wraps

• Select your protein – we’re using canned tuna in this recipe, but you can easily swap it for canned salmon or shredded rotisserie chicken.
• Add more veggies – feel free to include additional vegetables or more fresh herbs in these spicy sriracha tuna wraps.
• Replace the avocado – we’re using avocado as a creamy substitute for mayo, but you can simply use mayonnaise (I prefer this mayo) or even Greek yogurt, if desired.
• Increase the heat – if you love spice like I do, feel free to incorporate another tablespoon of sriracha sauce or any other hot sauce.

Serving Suggestions for Spicy Tuna

• Wrap (or lettuce wrap) – roll it in a flour tortilla or use a lettuce wrap for a fulfilling protein-packed meal.
• Sandwich – layer it on whole wheat bread slices with some leaves of lettuce and tomato slices.
• Leafy green salad – serve it over a bed of leafy greens like romaine, spinach, or arugula for a delicious tuna salad.
• Make a bowl – serve over brown rice and fresh chopped cucumber with additional sriracha or hot sauce for a tasty high-protein bowl.
• Dip – pair it with crackers, chips, or celery for a delightful snack.

How to Preserve Spicy Tuna Wraps

As avocados are prone to browning quickly, proper storage of this spicy tuna salad is crucial. When stored appropriately, these tuna wraps can last 2 to 4 days in the refrigerator.

• It’s advisable to place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the tuna salad, ensuring it contacts the salad. This minimizes exposure to oxygen, which causes the avocado to brown. Then store it in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge and assemble the wraps when you’re ready to enjoy.
• You can also squeeze in a bit of lime or fresh lemon juice to help prevent the avocado from browning and to add a touch of extra flavor to the tuna as well.
