Equipment

  • Food processor optional

Ingredients

  • 1 can tuna in oil undrained
  • 1 clove garlic minced if not using a food processor
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 stalk celery finely chopped
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 8 inch tortillas soft taco or fajita size

Instructions

  • Using a food processor or in a small bowl, mix and mash together the tuna, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper.
    1 can tuna in oil, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon capers, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Mix in the chopped celery by hand.
    1 stalk celery
  • Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle on the shredded cheese, leaving about an inch border all around.
    2 8 inch tortillas, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Add half of the tuna mixture in a thick line down the center of the tortillas.
  • Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from one folded side to form your tuna fish wrap.
  • Heat a cast iron or other nonstick skillet over medium heat. You may need to add a little butter or oil if you are not using well-seasoned cast iron.
  • Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Flip the tuna fish wraps over and cook the second side.

Notes

This recipe will make about two-thirds of a cup of tuna mixture, enough for two generous tuna melt wraps in 8 inch tortillas.
Tuna packed in oil has the richest flavor and best texture. If using tuna in oil, do not drain the tuna. If using tuna packed in water, drain the tuna and add a teaspoon to tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture.
Feel free to vary your cheese or use a combination of cheeses in this melt.
