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
- High Protein – The perfect healthy lunch packed with fiber and 23 grams of protein per serving!
- Healthier Take – Creamy avocado makes a great alternative for mayo in these tuna wraps and we are loading it with fresh veggies for a boost of nutrition and healthy fats.
- Quick and Easy – This entire meal easily comes together in just 5 minutes with some minimal chopping and prep.
- Flavor and Texture – You’ll love how incredibly flavorful these spicy tuna wraps are with a good crunch from the raw veggies.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
