These tuna or canned salmon wraps are creamy, tangy, and loaded with flavor thanks to mustard, Greek yogurt or light mayo, and your favorite crunchy veggies. Rolled up in a small low-carb tortilla or pita, this snack is a mini version of your favorite tuna sandwich—with fewer carbs and all the flavor.
They’re also perfect for meal prep, quick lunches, or post-workout snacks. Add capers, dill pickles, or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing. Try chopped veggies or herbs, seeds, sliced olives, or avocado for even more flavor and texture.
