If you like a spicy tuna sushi roll, then you are going to LOVE this recipe! These Spicy Tuna Avocado Wraps have been a staple lunch in my life for years. Protein-packed chunk light tuna with creamy avocado, spicy sriracha and some added zip from the dijon mustard pair perfectly with the crunchy veggies. Not only does this recipe make a delicious tortilla wrap for lunch, but I love enjoying this spicy tuna straight out of the bowl with crackers or celery! So much flavor and super easy to make in just 5 minutes.

Why You’ll Love This

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • tuna – I like to use Albacore tuna because you get bigger chunks of meat that aren’t mushy. You could also use canned salmon if you prefer.
  • avocado – you’ll want one ripe avocado to add creaminess and healthy fats as a substitute for mayo that is typically used.
  • sriracha – kicks up the heat and spice in these tuna wraps. If sriracha has too much heat for you, feel free to cut the amount of sriracha in half or use something with less spice.
  • dijon mustard – adds some zip and creaminess to the tuna mixture.
  • veggies – combination of crunchy celery, red onion and green onions go into the tuna mixture and I thinly sliced cucumber, red bell pepper and carrots for added veggies in the wraps.
  • cilantro – perfect addition to these wraps and adds a nice fresh flavor and pop of color. If you aren’t a fan of cilantro, add in some other fresh herbs such as fresh parsley or fresh basil.
  • salt and pepper – pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance all these flavors.
  • lettuce – crisp and refreshing in the wrap.
  • tortillas – you’ll want to use any 8-inch tortillas you’d like including gluten or grain free tortillas. I like to use the whole wheat carb balance tortillas to keep the carbs lower.

How to Make Spicy Tuna Wraps

  1. Chop veggies. Chop the celery, red onion, green onion and cilantro to mix with the tuna. Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper and carrots into matchsticks to add into the wraps.
  2. Make spicy tuna. In a small bowl, mash together the tuna and avocado, until combined. Stir in the sriracha, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, green onions, cilantro and salt and pepper, mixing well.
  3. Assemble wraps. To assemble wraps, top each tortilla with leafy greens, sliced veggies and divide the spicy tuna mixture evenly among the wraps. Tightly roll up the tortillas. Slice and enjoy!

Customize Your Wraps

  • Choose your protein – we are using canned tuna fish in this recipe, but feel free to swap out the tuna for canned salmon or shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken).
  • Add in more veggies – feel free to add in some extra veggies or even more fresh herbs in these spicy sriracha tuna wraps.
  • Swap out the avocado – we are using avocado in place of mayo to add creaminess and healthy fats, but feel free to simply use mayonnaise (I like this mayo) or even Greek yogurt, if you prefer.
  • Add extra heat – if you love spice like I do, feel free to add another tbsp sriracha sauce or other hot sauce.

How to Serve Spicy Tuna

  • Wrap (or lettuce wrap) – roll in a flour tortilla or even a lettuce wrap for the perfect protein-packed lunch.
  • Sandwich – layer this on slices of whole wheat bread with some lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
  • Leafy green salad – top it on a bed of leafy greens like romaine lettuce, spinach leaves or arugula for the ultimate tuna salad.
  • Make a bowl – serve over brown rice and fresh chopped cucumber with additional sriracha or hot sauce for a delicious high protein bowl.
  • Dip – serve it up with some crackers, chips or celery for a delicious snack.

How to Store Spicy Tuna Wraps

As you know, avocados tend to brown really easily so how you store this spicy tuna salad is important. If stored properly, these tuna wraps can last 2 to 4 days in the fridge.

  • I recommend pressing a piece of plastic wrap over the tuna salad first so that the plastic wrap is touching the salad. This helps keep any oxygen out, which is what causes the avocado to brown. Then you can store in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge and assemble the wraps when ready to enjoy.
  • You could also squeeze a little bit of lime juice or fresh lemon juice to help prevent the avocado from browning and which will add a little extra flavor to the tuna as well.

    I make these all the time! Super delish and don’t be shy to try flavored roti/wraps for a nice change.

    I learned about using avocado for “mayo” in a Culinary Medicine class, so was eager to try your recipe. It was delicious and I especially liked the spicy kick of the sriracha! I opted to make it as a lettuce wrap and used Boston/Bibb lettuce and the carrots added the nice textural crunch. I’ll definitely be adding this to my rotation.

    I’ve replaced tuna with smoked trout and it was still so delicious! Superb crunchiness of carrots 🤤 Will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻

      Can you use guacamole instead of avocado?

      1. Kelly says:

        Sure!

    I’m a Macro Dieter and I LOVE that you included the nutrition information with this recipe! I was wondering what kind/brand of the whole wheat wraps you used to hit those grams of macro nutrients?

  8. Katherine Williams says:

    oh my gosh! I know this is an older recipe but I’ve just discovered your site! I had almost everything for this at home and it couldn’t have been more flavorful. I may never make another tuna salad again!

  9. Chris says:

    Best. Tuna salad. Ever. I just had mine wrapped in a bunch of leaf lettuce and it was still super filling. Thank-you for sharing this, I know what I’ll be having for lunch for the foreseeable future.

    I absolutely LOVE this recipe for tuna salad! I’ve made this at least 10 times and it turns out great every time. I use this as a base for tuna salad sandwiches instead of in a wrap since I love sandwiches and it’s really good. I substitute brown onion for the red onion, and I normally don’t add the cilantro or green onion since I never seem to have those specific ingredients when I’m craving this, but it still turns out great! It seems to store well in the fridge too, I don’t notice it turning all brown because of the avocado, but then again I normally store it in a sealed container in the fridge and finish it within three days. This is my go to recipe now for tuna salad and I definitely want to try it in a wrap version the next time I make it. At first I was a little hesitant on adding in the mustard because I’m not a big fan of mustard but I still decided to put it in regardless and I don’t even notice the mustard taste which is great in my opinion. I don’t find it spicy at all either, but then again I can eat some spicy food without a problem, but I honestly can’t even really tell that there is much heat to this. Thank you so much Kelly for this recipe! It is definitely one of my most used recipes! I highly recommend anyone to try it if they’re looking for something easy and quick to make that tastes great! 👍🏻 😊
