01 - 1 (5 oz) can tuna in water, drained
02 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
04 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
05 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery

# Directions:
01 - Combine tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and season to taste.
02 - Lay tortillas flat. Distribute half the tuna mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with half the cheddar cheese on each wrap. Add tomato slices if desired.
03 - Fold both sides inward toward the center. Roll tortillas tightly from bottom to top, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
04 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
05 - Transfer wraps to a cutting board. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
