When it comes to ​the best critique on my recipes, then it is the opinion that I get from my boyfriend. He is always really honest with me and if he doesn't like something, well, then he is going to say it :D No, no, please don't feel bad for me :) I never take it personally and I don't think that there is anything in this world that everyone likes. We are all different and so also have different taste preferences. However, why am I telling you all this is because when it comes to these wraps he really enjoyed them, even though he is not a fan of vegetables served this way and also not a big fan of these kind of wraps. Therefore, it is a really big thing that he liked these :D Also, I personally thought this is going to be a really simple recipe, delicious, but simple. However, when it comes to the flavours, these wraps are packed with it and they are truly delicious. So even though I thought they will be like a really basic recipe they actually had that wow-effect on me :)
​
I​ mentioned in the recipe and in the video tutorial that you can spread some cream cheese on the wraps before filling them to add some extra moisture. I would however do that only if you are eating them right away. When I was filming the recipe it was past lunch time and so I left the ones from the shoot for dinner and by that time they had gotten enough moisture from the tuna filling and the vegetables. If I would have added that layer of cream cheese, the wraps would have been very soggy. So I would suggest not adding that extra moisture if you are making these wraps to-go or to eat later.

I hope you will like this healthy tuna wrap recipe and will try it out.

TIP. If you want to add some extra moisture to the wraps you can start by first spreading some cream cheese over the wrap. I would however only suggest to do this if you are planning on eating the wraps right away, as otherwise they might get too soggy.
