Ingredient Notes
1 cup of diced cucumber gives freshness; substitute with bell pepper if preferred. 2 tablespoons of olive tapenade adds a bold punch; brands like Castello do an excellent job. 1 pound of canned tuna (preferably in olive oil for richness) offers protein; fresh or smoked salmon could be a wonderful substitute for a different flavor. 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese imparts creaminess; goat cheese could work too, though it changes the flavor profile.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Start by draining the canned tuna and placing it in a bowl.
- Add diced cucumber and olive tapenade; carefully mix until combined.
- Step 2: Warm large wraps in a skillet or microwave for soft texture, about 10 seconds in the microwave works well.
- Step 3: Divide the tuna mixture among the warmed wraps, then sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
- Step 4: Tightly wrap each tortilla and cut in half, ready to serve.

These wraps store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They are easy to reheat in the microwave for a convenient breakfast during busy mornings. Feel free to prep the filling in advance for an even quicker breakfast!
