Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

2 large cans tuna drained
3.5 ounces corn kernels
1/2 red onion
3.9 ounces cherry tomatoes
3 pickles about 2 ounces
4 large tortillas see notes

For the Sauce:

6.3 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon capers
1 clove garlic
1/3 teaspoon salt
Pinch of pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Tuna Salad:

Drain the tuna cans thoroughly.
Finely chop the red onion.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes.
Dice the pickles into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and pickles.

Make the Sauce:

In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, capers, minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Combine Everything:

Add the sauce to the tuna mixture and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Assemble the Wraps:

Warm each tortilla briefly in the microwave or on a hot, dry skillet to make them more pliable.
Place about 3 tablespoons of the tuna salad mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Fold the top and bottom edges over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from one side.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.

Notes

I used 10-inch tortillas and made 4 servings. If you’re using smaller tortillas, you might need about 6 tortillas.
