Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious wraps:

• 2 large whole grain wraps: A healthier option that adds fiber to keep you full longer.
• 1 can of Genova Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil, drained: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein.
• 2 cups mixed greens: Use a mix of your favorite leafy greens.
• 1 roma tomato, thinly sliced: Adds a sweet and slightly tangy flavor.
• 1/2 cup matchstick carrots: For a touch of sweetness and crunch.
• 1/2 cup julienned cucumber: Refreshing and hydrating, cucumbers add a crisp texture.
• 1/2 cup julienned sweet bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow): These add color and a subtle sweetness.
• 2 TBSP minced red onion: For a slight kick and added depth of flavor.
• 2 TBSP hummus: Creamy, rich, and full of flavor.
• 2 lemon wedges: A squeeze of lemon juice brightens up the entire wrap.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get these wraps ready:

1. Prepare Your Wraps: Lay your whole grain wraps flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus in the center of each wrap.
2. Layer the Veggies: Start by placing the mixed greens close to one side of each wrap. Then, add the tomato slices, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions. You want to create a beautiful layer of veggies that will give you a burst of flavor and crunch in every bite.
3. Add the Tuna: Split the can of tuna between the two wraps, placing it right on top of the veggies. Spritz a little lemon juice over the tuna for a fresh, zesty flavor.
4. Wrap It Up: To close the wrap, fold the sides inward, leaving about an inch of space in between them. While holding the sides, use your thumbs to bring the bottom edge of the wrap over the filling and the folded sides. Roll it tightly until the wrap is secured.

Pro Tip:

If you’re making this ahead of time, wrap your Tuna Wrap in parchment paper to keep it intact. A toothpick can also help hold everything together, just remember to remove it before eating!
