If you’re a fan of a spicy tuna sushi roll, you’ll DEFINITELY enjoy this recipe! These Spicy Tuna Avocado Wraps have been a go-to lunch option for me for years. Filled with protein-rich chunk light tuna combined with creamy avocado, spicy sriracha, and a kick from dijon mustard, all mixed with fresh, crunchy vegetables. Not only does this recipe create a yummy tortilla wrap for lunch, but I also love to eat this spicy tuna straight from the bowl with crackers or celery! Packed with flavor and deceptively simple to whip up in just 5 minutes.

Why You’ll Adore This

• High Protein – This healthy lunch is loaded with fiber and contains 23 grams of protein per serving!
• Healthier Version – Creamy avocado serves as a wonderful substitute for mayo in these tuna wraps, and we’re incorporating plenty of fresh vegetables for an added boost of nutrition and healthy fats.
• Quick and Simple – This whole meal comes together effortlessly in just 5 minutes with minimal chopping and prep.
• Taste and Crunch – The explosion of flavors in these spicy tuna wraps is delightful, complemented by the crunchy raw veggies.

Ingredients Required

• tuna – I prefer using Albacore tuna because it offers larger, firmer pieces that aren’t mushy. Canned salmon can also be an option if you wish.
• avocado – One ripe avocado is essential to provide the creaminess and healthy fats, replacing the usual mayo.
• sriracha – Adds heat and spice to these tuna wraps. If the heat from sriracha is too intense for you, feel free to reduce the amount or substitute it with a milder sauce.
• dijon mustard – Contributes a bit of zip and creaminess to the tuna mixture.
• veggies – A mix of crunchy celery, red onion, and green onions go into the tuna mix, and I’ve thinly sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrots for extra veggies in the wraps.
• cilantro – A wonderful addition to these wraps that provides a refreshing flavor and a pop of color. If you’re not fond of cilantro, consider using fresh parsley or basil as alternatives.
• salt and pepper – A pinch of salt and black pepper to elevate all these flavors.
• lettuce – Adds a crisp and refreshing element to the wraps.
• tortillas – Use any 8-inch tortillas of your preference, including gluten-free or grain-free options. I like utilizing whole wheat carb balance tortillas to keep the carbs lower.

Step-by-Step for Making Spicy Tuna Wraps

1. Dice the veggies. Finely chop the celery, red onion, green onion, and cilantro to mix with the tuna. Cut the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrots into thin matchsticks for the wraps.
2. Prepare the spicy tuna. In a small bowl, mash the tuna and avocado together until smooth. Mix in the sriracha, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, green onions, cilantro, and add salt and pepper, ensuring everything is well combined.
3. Put together the wraps. To assemble the wraps, layer leafy greens and sliced veggies on each tortilla, then divide the spicy tuna mixture across the wraps. Roll the tortillas tightly. Slice and indulge!

Tailor Your Wraps

• Pick your protein – While this recipe features canned tuna, feel free to swap it for canned salmon or shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken).
• Include more veggies – Add a variety of extra vegetables or additional fresh herbs to your spicy sriracha tuna wraps.
• Substitute the avocado – We’ve used avocado as a mayo replacement for creaminess and healthy fats, but you can substitute it with mayonnaise (I prefer this mayo) or even Greek yogurt, if you like.
• Increase the spice – If you enjoy heat, don’t hesitate to mix in another tablespoon of sriracha or a different hot sauce.

Serving Suggestions for Spicy Tuna

• Wrap (or lettuce wrap) – Roll it up in a flour tortilla or even a lettuce wrap for a protein-rich lunch.
• Sandwich – Layer it on whole wheat bread with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
• Leafy green salad – Serve it over a bed of greens like romaine, spinach, or arugula for an ultimate tuna salad.
• Make a bowl – Serve it on brown rice with fresh chopped cucumber and additional sriracha or hot sauce for a delicious high-protein bowl.
• Dip – Enjoy it with crackers, chips, or celery for a tasty snack.

Storing Spicy Tuna Wraps

As you may know, avocados can brown quickly, so proper storage of this spicy tuna salad is crucial. When stored correctly, these tuna wraps can last 2 to 4 days in the refrigerator.

• Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the tuna salad to minimize exposure to air, preventing the avocado from browning. Store it in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge and assemble the wraps when you’re ready to enjoy.
• You could also drizzle a little lime or fresh lemon juice over the avocado to help deter browning while enhancing the flavor of the tuna.
