Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Open the can of tuna and thoroughly drain excess liquid using a colander or strainer, ensuring the tuna is well-dried.
- In a medium mixing bowl, place the drained tuna and break it into small, uniform pieces using a fork.
- Add mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to the tuna, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy and spicy tuna salad base.
- Finely dice the celery into small, consistent pieces and fold into the tuna mixture.
- Season the tuna salad with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste and ensuring even distribution of seasonings.
- Carefully wash and pat dry the large lettuce leaves, ensuring they are crisp and free from excess moisture.
- Divide the tuna salad evenly between the two lettuce leaves, spreading it carefully to cover the center of each leaf.
- Gently fold the sides of the lettuce leaves inward, then roll from bottom to top to create a tight, neat wrap.
- Slice the wraps diagonally if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent soggy wraps and ensure a perfect texture.
- Adjust sriracha sauce quantity based on your spice tolerance - start with less and add more gradually.
- Use crisp, fresh lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or romaine for the best wrap structure.
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced red onions or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
- Chill the tuna mixture for 15 minutes before wrapping to allow flavors to meld together.
- For a low-carb option, serve the tuna salad in lettuce cups instead of rolled wraps.
