Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can add a touch more mayonnaise.
- If you prefer a milder spice, start with less sriracha and add more gradually.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the tuna salad ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
