A quick and easy lunch recipe featuring creamy avocado blended with flaky tuna, crisp veggies, and soft wraps for a satisfying yet light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5-ounce / 140g) can chunk light tuna in water, drained
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (light or vegan mayo optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps (whole wheat or gluten-free wraps work great)
  • Mixed greens, a handful per wrap
  • Optional veggies: sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned tuna well to avoid sogginess. In a mixing bowl, add the tuna and scoop in the ripe avocado. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash them together until mostly combined but still a bit chunky (2-3 minutes).
  2. Stir in the finely diced red onion and chopped celery.
  3. Add mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (about 2 minutes).
  4. Lay out the tortillas or wraps on a clean surface. Warm them briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds if stiff or dry.
  5. Place a handful of mixed greens on each wrap. Spoon an even amount of the tuna avocado salad over the greens, leaving about an inch border on the edges.
  6. Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Slice in half diagonally if desired (3-4 minutes).
  7. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice to prevent avocado browning. Do not over-mash the tuna and avocado to keep a chunky texture. Warm wraps briefly to prevent cracking. For gluten-free, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo or skip mayo.
