    These spicy lemon herb tuna wraps are one of my staples for easy, healthy, flavorful lunches. They are just bursting with flavor and yet they are so easy to put together. You only need a few minutes. Its so perfect for a quick lunch or even a quick dinner.

    Get a Good Canned Tuna!

    The secret ingredient is actually not anything spectacular. It is just a can of good quality tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil. This is one my favorites to get for this recipe. The tuna packed in olive oil is key because the tuna tastes so different. It's actually a very mild flavored tuna. Plus I noticed that the quality of tuna is different too. The tuna has a much nicer texture, real tuna flakes.

    Now the other secret in what makes these spicy lemon herb tuna wraps so fabulous is the fact that its not your typical cold tuna salad with loads of mayonnaise. Actually there's no mayo in this dish at all!

    So avocado and spiced tuna wrap is amazing because its a hot lunch! Hot and spicy tuna avocado wrap really!! Pairing good quality canned tuna with tons of fresh ingredients and you've got yourself a healthy lunch that's packed with flavor!
