FAQ: Questions about tuna wraps

Making these tuna wraps is pretty straightforward. But just in case you have any questions, we have prepared an FAQ below. Have a look to find out more.

How do I keep tortillas from splitting when rolling them?
To prevent tortillas from splitting while rolling, warm them to room temperature first. This softens the tortillas, making them more pliable and less likely to tear. When adding your filling, place it in the centre and use a moderate amount to avoid overstuffing, which can cause the tortilla to bulge. Roll the tortilla snugly, applying gentle pressure to avoid squishing the filling. As you roll, tuck the sides in to secure the filling.
What is the best way to keep tuna wraps fresh for storage?
To maintain the freshness and crispness of tuna wraps, it is best to store the components separately in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to eat, assemble the wrap using a tortilla and add fresh ingredients. This prevents the wrap from becoming soggy.

Tips: Get the most out of your tuna wraps

Take a look at our tips below; we will let you know what to keep in mind when making these tuna wraps.

Select quality tuna

When preparing tuna wraps, the type of canned tuna you use significantly influences the overall flavour. Opt for premium tuna in water to let the natural taste of the fish shine through, enhancing the other ingredients in the wrap. Also, consider the texture of the tuna. Brands vary, offering options like chunk light tuna, which is softer, or solid or chunk white tuna, which has a firmer texture. Choose the type that best suits your preference.

Tasty tuna with red onion, fraiche, and curry powder

The main attraction of the tuna wraps is, of course, the tuna itself. Its savoury flavour and soft texture blend perfectly with the fraiche, onion, and lettuce. The onion and lettuce give the wraps a crunchy bite, while the fraiche binds it together with its creamy consistency. A hint of warm, aromatic curry powder elevates the overall flavour, resulting in savoury, tangy, and fresh notes in each bite.

Enjoy these tuna wraps with complementary sides

While tuna wraps are easy to enjoy on their own, they go very well with a great many complementary sides.

Opt for baked sweet potato fries, which are crispy on the outside and tender inside, providing a delicious contrast to the savoury flavours of the wraps. Their natural sweetness also balances out any spiciness in the curry, adding a satisfying crunch.

Consider a quinoa salad packed with colourful vegetables like peppers, carrots, and avocado for a wholesome accompaniment. The fluffy quinoa brings a satisfying chewiness, while the variety of vegetables provides an array of textures and flavours that mesh well with the creamy fraiche and curry in the wraps.

For a refreshing twist, add a side of fresh fruit or a zesty fruit salsa made with diced mangoes, pineapples, red peppers, and cilantro. This tropical mix introduces a sweet and tangy flavour that beautifully complements the tuna wraps.

Experiment with the ingredients

Get creative and experiment with various fillings to turn the tuna wraps into the wraps of your dreams. You can customise the wraps with your favourite vegetables or herbs, such as celery, diced peppers, sliced cucumbers, or fresh cilantro. Adding sliced avocado introduces a buttery texture, and along with the fraiche, you are in for a creamy treat.

For a spicy twist, try adding a pinch of chilli flakes, paprika, or even a dash of hot sauce to the filling. They all add a fiery kick that fits neatly with the fresh and creamy fraiche. Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives bring colour and a pleasant aroma that goes well with the subtle flavour of tuna. Their fresh tastes contrast nicely with the fraiche and curry's savoury notes.
