Preparation
- Drain the tuna thoroughly to avoid a watery mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, corn, diced red onion, dill relish, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- To make the burrito-sized wrap more pliable, place it on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 10-20 seconds.
Assembly
- On a clean working surface, lay the warm tortilla flat. Add a layer of shredded cheese on the end of the wrap closest to you, leaving space on the sides and bottom edge. Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
- Folding the sides of the tortilla toward the middle, then fold the bottom edge up, tucking it underneath the tuna mixture. Finally, roll the tortilla away from you to the edge.

- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Place the wrap seam-side down and let it heat for about 3–4 minutes before flipping. Grill the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
- Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the wrap from the pan and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm.
