Gourmet Toasted Bluefin Tuna Wrap

This tuna wrap is a classic weekly lunch idea, . This recipe transforms the humble tuna melt into a gourmet experience by using Lukina’s Bluefin Tuna for the filling. Southern Bluefin Tuna is known for its rich, buttery flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture, so when you use it in a tuna melt, the result is truly next-level.

Serves: 2 PRINT THIS

1 can Lukina’s Special Bluefin Tuna, drained
2 tbsp whole-egg mayo
¼ cup canned corn
Dill pickles, finely diced (add as little or as much as you like)
¼ red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 wrap or pita pocket
Black pepper, to taste (the tuna is already salted)
2 tbsp butter, softened
Fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method

1 In a bowl, combine the drained Bluefin tuna, mayonnaise, corn, pickle, onion, lemon juice.

2 Mix well and season with black pepper. Taste the mixture before adding salt. Adjust seasoning to your liking.

3 Butter one side of each wrap. Lay out two wraps (butter-side down) to build the wraps. Spoon the Bluefin tuna mixture evenly on top of the wraps, then fold like a burrito.

4 Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the wraps in the pan.

5 Grill the tuna wraps for about 3–4 minutes on the first side, or until the bottom bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Gently press down with a spatula to encourage even toasting.

6 Carefully flip the wraps and cook the other side for an additional 3–4 minutes, until golden brown. If you notice the bread browning too fast, lower the heat.

7 Remove the wraps from the pan. Let them cool for a minute, then slice each in half. Serve immediately.
