# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes flat, which means even on your busiest days you can eat something that actually tastes like you cared.
  • The protein keeps you satisfied for hours, so you won't be hunting for snacks an hour later.
  • Everything tastes fresh and bright, with none of that heavy feeling you get from more complicated meals.
02 -
  • Drain your tuna really thoroughly because any excess liquid will make the wraps soggy, and soggy wraps fall apart the moment you pick them up.
  • The lemon juice is essential not just for flavor but for keeping the avocado green and fresh looking, so don't skip it even if you think you don't like lemon.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife to slice your wraps because a dull blade will squeeze everything out instead of cutting cleanly through.
  • If you're making these ahead, assemble them right before eating rather than wrapping and storing, because even in foil they'll gradually get softer.
