Ingredients for Mediterranean Tuna Melt Wrap

Tuna is the heart of this dish, providing that savory, satisfying flavor. Greek yogurt replaces mayonnaise, offering a creamy texture with less fat. Feta cheese adds a tangy bite that complements the other Mediterranean flavors. Sun-dried tomatoes provide a chewy sweetness, while Kalamata olives bring a salty depth. A splash of lemon juice brightens everything up. Garlic adds a hint of heat and aroma. Fresh spinach adds color and nutrition. These ingredients are all wrapped in a whole wheat wrap and topped with melty mozzarella cheese for a delicious finish. A touch of olive oil helps to crisp up the wrap when grilled.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you're in a rush, prepare the tuna filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge.
  • Use a panini press for evenly grilled wraps with perfect grill marks.
  • For added crunch, include some thinly sliced red onion in the wrap.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your Mediterranean Tuna Melt Wrap with a light side salad of cucumbers and cherry tomatoes dressed in olive oil and lemon juice. Alternatively, serve with a bowl of soup, like a classic tomato or a light minestrone, for a cozy meal.

Mediterranean Tuna Melt Wrap Recipe Walkthrough

Start by draining your can of tuna thoroughly to avoid a soggy wrap. Combine the tuna with Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl. Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.

Lay out your whole wheat wraps on a clean surface. Evenly spread a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves over each wrap. This base not only adds a fresh crunch but also helps to keep the wrap from getting too soggy.

Next, spoon the tuna mixture over the spinach, dividing it equally among the wraps. Try to keep it in the center to make rolling easier. Sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella over the top of the tuna mixture. This will give that gooey, cheesy finish we all love in a melt.

Now, roll each wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to keep all the fillings secure. Brush the outside of each wrap with a bit of olive oil. This will help it crisp up nicely when you grill it.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they're golden brown and the cheese has melted. The aroma will be irresistible!

Once done, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut them in half and serve warm. Enjoy the melty, savory goodness.
