Tuna Avocado Egg Wrap

I pretty much believe in meals that won’t taste like yet another sandwich. Think filling, delicious, and just a tad out of the ordinary from your average lunch lineup. That is where this tuna avocado egg wrap comes in. My first preparation was a happy accident: There were boiled eggs left over from the previous day, a ripe avocado that needed urgent attending, and a can of tuna in the pantry. I wrapped it all together into a tortilla, and the rest is history, as they say.

It’s hearty yet fresh, protein-packed but creamy, and can be prepared in under 15 minutes. The best part? You would think it’s something from a little chic café, yet you could just as easily whip it up at home with things you probably have lying around.

Tools You’ll Need

You don’t need a chef’s kitchen for this recipe—just a few basics:

• Cutting board & knife – for chopping eggs, avocado, and veggies.
• Mixing bowl & fork – to mash the avocado and mix it with tuna.
• Small spoon – for spreading the filling evenly.
• Tortilla or wrap – your edible “plate.”
• Foil or parchment paper (optional) – to wrap it snugly if you’re taking it on the go.

Ingredients (Makes 2 Wraps)

• 2 large tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or plain)
• 1 can (5 oz / 140 g) tuna, drained
• 1 ripe avocado (about 200 g)
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons (30 g) Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (your choice for creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice – to brighten the flavors and keep the avocado green
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup (40 g) fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
• Optional add-ins: sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or red onion for crunch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mash the avocado.
2. Work the ripe avocado with a fork in a mixing bowl until pretty well mashed but slightly chunky. This creamy goodness becomes the wrap’s filling.
3. Tuna and egg go in.
4. In goes the drained tuna and chopped boiled eggs. It already looks very hearty and colorful.
5. Season and mix.
6. Add the yogurt or mayo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to blend all ingredients. Here is your chance to taste! If you feel it could use more zing, squeeze in some extra lemon.
7. Layer the greens.
8. Spread the tortilla flat and pile a fistful of spinach or lettuce in the center. This keeps the wrap fresh and crunchy.
9. Spread the filling.
10. Spoon in the tuna-and-avocado-and-egg mixture on top of the greens, making sure to spread it around so that every bite gets some of the goodness.
11. Wrap it up.
12. First, fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. If it’s feeling too loose, feel free to wrap it up in foil or parchment.

Serving Ideas

• Enjoy it as an usher-up with fruit salad for a light lunch.
• A person has to pair that up with a cup of soup for a cozy dinner.
• Cut it up into smaller pieces and serve it as a protein-packed appetizer or party snack.

Variations and Customizations

• Hotness: Add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes.
• Low-carb option: A lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
• Or cheesiness: Shredded cheddar or feta sprinkled before rolling.
• Fresh dill or parsley adds a nice pop of flavor. Mediterranean twist:
• Add olives and cucumber.

Storage and Make-Ahead

• The tuna-avocado-egg mix is actually prepareable up to 24 hours in advance.
• Store it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
• As for wraps: Best assembled immediately before devouring. Should prep be necessary, pack tightly in foil, keep chilled for up to 6 hours.
• Tip: Squeeze an additional lemon over excess when preparing in advance; this slows down their browning.

Pro Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

Here are a few “friend-to-friend” secrets to nail this wrap:

• Don’t skip the lemon juice. It keeps the avocado bright and adds flavor.
• Drain the tuna well. Too much liquid makes the wrap soggy.
• Wrap it tight. A loose wrap falls apart—think burrito-style rolling.
• Balance textures. Add some crunchy veggies to avoid everything feeling too soft.
• Eat it fresh. The avocado is best the day you make it.
