Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained and flaked

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 small flour tortillas (about 6 inches)

1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Optional garnish: fresh parsley or dill

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced red onion, chopped celery, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

    Fill the Tortillas: Place a tortilla on a clean surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture onto the center. Fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a pocket. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

      Heat the Tortilla Pockets: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or melted butter over medium heat. Once hot, place the stuffed tortilla pockets seam-side down in the skillet, working in batches if needed.

        Cook until Golden: Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip carefully using a spatula to prevent them from opening.

          Serve: Remove the tuna melt pockets from the skillet, and let them cool slightly before slicing in half. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce or a light salad for a delightful lunch or snack!
