I’ve had a weird relationship with tuna. I ate it for most of my childhood, then at some point decided it was gross because I don’t like fish. I don’t think I ate it for fifteen years! But then recently, I’ve found myself back on the tuna bandwagon.
The thing is, it’s so easy. It’s high in protein, it’s super versatile, and you don’t have to cook it! What’s not to love?

These 21 Day Fix tuna wraps are easy to put together – you can make the tuna ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for several days. I used romaine to make these into wraps, but you could easily eat it plain or in a whole wheat tortilla, or as a sandwich (with some Fix-approved bread, of course).

Don’t forget to pin it for later! 🙂
The real treat here is the red bell peppers. Crunchy, sweet and with enough flavor to really elevate your traditional tuna. Also, rather than loading it up with mayo, I used healthy avocado (there’s some mayo in this too – God Bless You, Beachbody, for making mayo an approved food). If it’s too dry for you, add two more teaspoons of mayo or some dijon mustard (to taste). Don’t forget to add the additional teaspoons from the mayo to your container counts, though (and if you’re in the lowest bracket, you won’t have any extras to add, sorry!). Dijon, on the other hand, is free!
If you don’t mind it a little on the dryer side, you can actually use fewer teaspoons…or swap out the teaspoons for Dijon entirely (this totally works…the avocado helps mellow it out a bit).

I’ll make this and eat it for several days. If I’m too lazy to prep lettuce just for one meal, I’ll eat it plain. It’s so good!
