- 1 10″ soft flour tortilla
- 1 (5 oz) can chunk light tuna in water, drained (142g)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp raisins (golden or regular)
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions
- Mix the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped walnuts, raisins, capers, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Use a fork to mix everything together until well combined. - Assemble the Wrap:
Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place the spinach leaves in the center, and then spoon the tuna mixture on top of the greens. - Wrap It Up:
Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling. Press gently but firmly with your hand to start forming a roll. Tuck in the sides and continue rolling until you have a snug, secure wrap. - Serve:
Slice the wrap diagonally and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day.
