# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 (5 oz) can tuna in water, drained
02 - 1 cup canned white beans (cannellini or navy beans), rinsed and drained

03 - 1/2 cup cucumber, diced

13 - 2 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (8-10 inch diameter)

# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna and white beans. Lightly mash with a fork to achieve a chunky texture.
02 - Add diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the tuna mixture. Toss gently to combine all components evenly.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
04 - Pour the prepared dressing over the tuna and bean salad. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated with dressing.
05 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Arrange baby spinach or mixed greens down the center of each tortilla.
06 - Spoon the tuna and white bean salad evenly over the greens in each tortilla, distributing the filling across the center.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form secure wraps. Slice in half if desired for easier serving.
08 - Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for convenient on-the-go consumption.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 10 minutes flat, which means you can actually eat lunch instead of spending your break cooking.
  • Packed with protein from two sources so you stay full for hours without the heaviness of mayo-laden salads.
  • Fresh lemon and mustard create actual flavor without needing creamy stuff to hide behind.
02 -
  • If your tuna is watery, really squeeze it over the sink or press it in a fine strainer, otherwise your wrap becomes a soggy disappointment.
  • The spinach layer underneath is essential—skip it and your tortilla will absorb liquid and fall apart the moment you pick it up.
03 -
  • Make your dressing while your vegetables are cooling so the garlic mellows slightly—raw garlic in small quantities can surprise you mid-bite.
  • If you're taking this wrapped in parchment, wrap it with the seam on the bottom so it stays rolled and doesn't unravel in your bag.
