Healthy Tuna Wrap Recipe

With 22 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber, this tuna wrap is doing the most in the best way. Flaky tuna gets piled in with crisp veggies—think cucumbers, leafy greens, sweet peppers—and wrapped up with a big smear of my homemade hummus with canned chickpeas (store-bought works too, I’m not judging). It’s the kind of lunch that feels both virtuous and actually good.

Ingredients

2 large whole grain wraps
1 can of Genova Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil, drained
2 cups mixed greens
1 roma tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup julienned cucumber
1/2 cup julienned sweet bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow)
2 TBSP minced red onion
2 TBSP hummus
2 lemon wedges

Instructions

Place your wraps onto a flat surface and smear a hefty tablespoon of hummus around the center of the wrap.
Place the mixed greens down onto the wrap, close to the edge of one side of each wrap. Then, top the greens with half of the tomato slices, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions, followed by the tuna. You will use half of a can for each wrap. Spritz some lemon juice over the tuna.
To close the wrap up neatly, fold the sides of the wrap inward with about an inch in between them so the filling is still visible. While keeping the sides pulled in, use your thumbs to bring the bottom edge of the wrap over the sides. Pull the bottom of the wrap taut and use it to roll over the filling and the folded sides. Roll until your entire wrap is secured.

Notes

If you’re packing this as a lunch, you can secure your wrap further by wrapping it with plastic wrap, tin foil, or parchment to ensure none of the folded ends untuck themselves. You can also use a toothpick, just remember to pull it out before you start eating it.
