▹ How to Make Tuna Avocado Lettuce Wraps

1. Prepare the tuna: Drain the canned tuna well and place it in a medium bowl. Flake it gently with a fork.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the cucumber, slice the green onion, and chop the fresh dill.
3. Make the sauce: Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and black pepper to a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
4. Combine the filling: Add the cucumber and green onion to the tuna and gently mix.
5. Add the avocado: Dice the avocado and carefully fold it into the tuna mixture to keep some pieces intact.
6. Add the sauce: Pour the yogurt dressing over the tuna mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
7. Prepare the lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves. Trim any particularly thick stems if needed.
8. Fill the wraps: Divide the tuna and avocado mixture evenly among the lettuce leaves.
9. Finish and serve: Add a little extra dill, lemon juice, or black pepper and serve immediately.

▹ Helpful Tips

• Choose large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing.
• Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
• Use a ripe but firm avocado so the pieces maintain their shape.
• Pat the lettuce leaves dry before assembling the wraps.
• For meal prep, keep the tuna mixture and lettuce leaves separate until ready to serve.

You can customize these wraps with additional vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, bell peppers, radishes, celery, or red onion.

For extra flavor, add fresh cilantro, parsley, jalapeño, capers, or a pinch of smoked paprika. You can also replace the tuna with cooked chicken, salmon, or chickpeas for a different filling.
