This lightened version of the classic tuna slashes calories and fat without sacrificing that creamy consistency.
The end of the week rolls around and your cupboards are bare. Don’t despair! You might still have the ingredients for this scrumptious tuna melt. With simple ingredients like canned tuna, cheddar cheese, and whole-wheat wraps, you’ll be biting into this melty, protein-packed wrap in no time.
This lightened version of the classic tuna melt calls for Greek yogurt instead of conventional mayo, slashing a boatload unhealthy fat without sacrificing that creamy consistency. Using Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative but there are clean mayo options, just read the ingredient list before purchasing. Butter lettuce adds a juicy crunch. Reduced-fat cheddar cheese offers a guilt-free, gooey deliciousness that complements the tuna. Stuff the mouthwatering mixture in a wrap and top with pickles or jalapeños for a bold finish. Savory and satisfying, this is a super-easy lunch you can toss together any day!
