Step 1: Let's get mixin'! Grab a bowl and toss in the tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, walnuts, raisins, capers, parsley, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Feeling adventurous? Add a dash of red pepper flakes for some extra zing! Now, give it all a good stir with a trusty fork until everything dances together in harmony.
Step 2: Time to get cozy with your tortilla! Lay it out flat and sprinkle some baby spinach right in the middle. Think of it as giving your wrap a green hug.
Step 3: Spoon that delicious tuna salad onto the spinach-covered tortilla. Don't be shy, pile it on! Now, here comes the fun part – fold over the sides of the tortilla like you're tucking in a blanket, then roll it up nice and tight. Show that wrap who's boss!
Step 4: Ta-da! Grab a sharp knife and slice your masterpiece diagonally. Admire your handiwork for a moment, then dig in! If you're not ready to devour it just yet (patience is a virtue, they say), wrap it up snugly in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. It'll be waiting for you whenever hunger strikes!
There you have it, a wrap so tasty, it'll make mornings something to look forward to!
Here are some substitution and improvisation ideas for the Tuna Breakfast Wrap recipe:

1| Protein Swap: Instead of tuna, you can use canned salmon or cooked shredded chicken for a different flavor profile.
2| Dairy-Free Option: Swap Greek yogurt for mashed avocado or a dairy-free yogurt alternative like coconut yogurt for a creamy texture without dairy.
3| Nut-Free Alternative: If you have a nut allergy or prefer to avoid nuts, you can replace walnuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch.
4| Sweet and Savory Variations: Experiment with different dried fruits such as cranberries or apricots instead of raisins for a twist on the sweet element. You can also add sliced apples or grapes for a refreshing crunch.
5| Vegetarian Option: Skip the tuna altogether and load up on extra veggies like roasted bell peppers, sliced cucumbers, or shredded carrots for a vegetarian version of the wrap.
6| Spice it Up: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick, or swap the Dijon mustard for a flavored mustard like honey mustard or whole grain mustard for extra depth of flavor.
7| Low-Carb Alternative: If you're watching your carb intake, you can use lettuce leaves or collard greens as a wrap instead of flour tortillas for a low-carb option.
8| Herb Substitutions: Don't have parsley on hand? No problem! You can use cilantro, basil, or dill instead for a different flavor profile.

Here are some storage suggestions to help you keep your Tuna Breakfast Wrap fresh:
Try this recipe: Chickpea and Tuna Salad
1| Refrigerator Storage: If you're not planning to eat your wrap right away, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to a day.
2| Meal Prep: Consider making a batch of wraps ahead of time for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. Wrap each individual wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
3| Freezer Storage: If you want to store your wraps for longer periods, you can freeze them. Wrap each wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in a resealable plastic freezer bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.
4| Thawing: When you're ready to eat a frozen wrap, transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before to thaw. Alternatively, you can thaw it in the microwave on a low setting until heated through.
5| On-the-Go: If you're taking your wrap with you on-the-go, consider using a reusable container or bento box to keep it protected and prevent it from getting squished.
By following these storage suggestions, you can ensure that your Tuna Breakfast Wrap stays fresh and delicious whenever you're ready to enjoy it!
