Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Use a fork or potato masher to achieve the perfect creamy texture when mashing the avocado. Ensure the tuna is well drained to avoid soggy wraps. Rolling the tortilla tightly and folding in the sides helps keep all ingredients securely inside for easy eating on-the-go.

For extra crunch, add shredded carrots or sliced cucumbers. Substitute whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free wraps if needed. For added flavor, mix in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or fresh chopped herbs such as parsley or cilantro into the avocado mixture.
