How to Make Tuna Melt Wrap

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of tuna (in water or oil)
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  3. Add a layer of sliced onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
  4. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
  6. In a heated skillet, place the wrap seam-side down and cook until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
