Caprese Tuna Melt

This Caprese Tuna Melt Wrap is what I make when I want something warm, comforting, and satisfying, but I also want it to feel fresh and not heavy. It’s classic tuna melt energy, just… upgraded. Pesto instead of mayo, mozzarella instead of cheddar, spinach and tomato for that caprese vibe, all pressed until melty and crisp.
