ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla

½ ripe avocado, diced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: dash of hot sauce or Dijon mustard for kick
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped (optional but recommended)
directions
-
I mash the diced avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl until creamy.
-
I stir in the drained tuna and chopped egg, then season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
-
If I want more flavor, I add a small dash of hot sauce or Dijon mustard.
-
I warm the tortilla slightly in a skillet or microwave to make it more pliable.
-
I spread the tuna avocado egg mixture evenly in the center of the tortilla.
-
I roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as I go to form a wrap.
-
I slice it in half and enjoy immediately, or wrap it in foil if I’m taking it on the go.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 1 wrap, perfect for 1 serving. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish.
Variations
Sometimes I add sliced cucumber or shredded lettuce for crunch. If I want extra richness, I sprinkle in a little shredded cheese or a spoonful of Greek yogurt. I also like using spinach tortillas or sun-dried tomato wraps for a flavor twist. For a breakfast version, I swap the tuna for scrambled eggs and add a sprinkle of chili flakes.
storage/reheating
This wrap is best eaten fresh, but I can store it tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 1 day. If I’m meal prepping, I keep the filling separate and assemble the wrap right before eating to keep the tortilla from getting soggy. I don’t recommend reheating it, as the avocado and tuna are meant to be served cold or at room temperature.
FAQs
Can I use another protein instead of tuna?
Yes, I’ve used canned salmon or shredded rotisserie chicken as great alternatives.
Is this wrap keto-friendly?
It can be, especially if I use a low-carb or keto tortilla and keep the filling simple.
What kind of avocado works best?
I use a ripe, but not overly soft avocado. It should mash easily but still hold its texture a bit.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, there’s no dairy in the base recipe. Just skip any optional cheese or yogurt additions.
How can I make it spicier?
I add a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra hot sauce to the mixture for more heat.
