Step-by-Step (Crispy & Melty Perfection)
1️⃣ Make the Tuna Salad:
-
In a bowl, mix tuna, mayo, mustard, celery, onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2️⃣ Assemble the Wrap:
-
Lay out tortillas and sprinkle half the cheese in the center of each.
-
Spread tuna salad over the cheese, then top with remaining cheese.
-
Fold the sides in, then roll tightly (like a burrito).
3️⃣ Grill to Golden Crisp:
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter.
-
Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2-3 mins per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden and crispy and cheese is melted.
4️⃣ Slice & Serve:
-
Cut diagonally and serve with pickles, hot sauce, or a side salad.
