🧾 Ingredients (Makes 4 rolls)

For the Tuna Patties

• 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low‑carb)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
• 1 tbsp finely chopped celery
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste

For Assembly

• 8 large crisp lettuce leaves (iceberg or romaine)
• 4 slices cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
• 2 tbsp burger sauce or mayonnaise
• Tomato slices (optional)
• Pickles (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make Tuna Patties

1. In a bowl, combine tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, mustard, onion, celery, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix until well combined. Shape into 4 patties.
3. Heat a skillet with a little oil. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden and firm.

Step 2: Prepare Lettuce Wraps

1. Wash and pat dry large lettuce leaves.
2. Overlap 2 leaves per roll to form a sturdy wrap base.

Step 3: Assemble Rolls

1. Place a hot tuna patty on the lettuce.
2. Top with a slice of cheese (let it melt slightly).
3. Add sauce, tomato, and pickles if desired.
4. Fold lettuce around the filling to enclose like a bun.

Step 4: Serve

• Secure with toothpicks if needed.
• Serve immediately with extra sauce or a side salad.

🌟 Tips

• For a spicy kick, mix sriracha into the mayo.
• Use butter lettuce for a softer wrap, iceberg for crunch.
• Patties can be made ahead and reheated before wrapping.

This Tuna Roll in Lettuce Wraps is light, protein‑packed, and perfect for a gluten‑free or keto‑friendly meal.
