Instructions

  • Position an oven rack about 4–6 inches below the broiler and turn the broiler on to preheat.
  • Drain 5 ounces chunk light tuna in water and place in a medium bowl; flake with a fork.
  • Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat, plain) or the 1/4 cup mayo option from the ingredient list, then add 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Spread the tuna mixture in a broiler-safe baking dish or pan in an even layer. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Place the dish under the preheated broiler for about 1–2 minutes, watching closely, just until the cheese melts and begins to bubble. Remove from oven.
  • Lay the large whole-wheat wrap flat on a clean work surface. Arrange the 4 butter lettuce leaves (or large iceberg leaves) down the center of the wrap.
  • Scoop the tuna with melted cheese onto the lettuce, leaving a 1–2 inch space at one short end. Top with the 4 pickle slices or jalapeño slices, if using.
  • Tuck the short end of the wrap under the filling and roll tightly to enclose. Cut the wrap in half and serve.
