Prepare lettuce by removing the core and separating large leaves. Pat dry.
Lay lettuce leaves flat and slightly overlapping to form a wrap base.
Add tuna as your main filling.
Layer tomatoes, red onion, roasted peppers, and greens.
Drizzle chili sauce and creamy sauce over the filling.
Fold sides inward and roll tightly like a burrito.
Slice diagonally to reveal the layers.
Finish with chia seeds on top.
Ensure the lettuce leaves are firm and dry to prevent tearing while wrapping.
You can roast the peppers for added flavor before adding them to the wrap.
Adjust the chili sauce quantity based on your spice preference.
Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap for clean layers.
Can I use a different type of lettuce?
Yes, you can use romaine or butter lettuce, but iceberg lettuce is ideal for its firm and crunchy texture.
What type of tuna works best for this recipe?
Canned tuna in water or oil works well. Ensure it is drained and flaked before using.
Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
It is best to prepare it fresh to maintain the crunchiness of the lettuce. If making ahead, store the filling separately and assemble before serving.
Is there a substitute for chia seeds?
You can use sesame seeds or omit them entirely if preferred.
Can I add other vegetables to the wrap?
Absolutely! You can add cucumbers, shredded carrots, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
