Tuna and Avocado Wraps

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My tuna and avocado wrap is made with pantry staples. Best of all, it’s super delicious and super easy to whip together for dinner tonight!

Tuna and avocado wraps in butter lettuce.

As a rule, I always have cans of tuna in the pantry and limes, ripe avocados, and jalapeños in the fridge. With these items at my fingertips, I can whip up a couple of satisfying tuna and avocado wraps whenever I’m hangry. If you don’t have Paleo mayonnaise on hand, a quick guacamole is the best binder for salads like this one.

My favorite brand of canned tuna is made by Wild Planet: no BPA, sustainably caught, low mercury, high omega 3, and carried by my local Costco.

    Tried it for the first time this past week and it was delicious! Easy, flavorful, and great meatless option for Lent.
