Ingredients
Scale
Salad Mixture
- 1 can (about 5 oz) canned tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Wrap Components
- 4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the tuna mixture: In a bowl, break up the drained canned tuna with a fork. Add the chopped kimchi, mayonnaise, finely chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place two large lettuce leaves on each tortilla.
- Add the filling: Spoon half of the prepared tuna and kimchi mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla layered with lettuce.
- Roll and serve: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the wrap. Cut each wrap diagonally in half before serving for easier handling and presentation.
Notes
- Use well-drained canned tuna to avoid soggy wraps.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise based on your creaminess preference or substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Kimchi provides a spicy kick; reduce quantity if you prefer milder flavors.
- For added texture and nutrition, consider adding shredded carrots or cucumber slices.
- Wraps are best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
