Who doesn't love a good wrap?

They are perfect for tossing in a lunch bag for work or for a nutritious, easy and quick dinner during the work week.

Now that the new year is almost in session again, and my youngest goes back to school, and I go back to work, I'm looking for some new recipes for those hectic evenings we seem to have, especially in the autumn months leading up to Christmas.  This recipe is one I found in my cooking magazine and for my vegan daughter, I will just make hers minus the tuna!

CRUNCHY TUNA WRAPS

1 can of light or white albacore tuna, packed in water, drained

1/4 c. finely chopped celery

1/4 c. chopped scallions or red onions

3 Tbsp of chopped, sweet red pepper

2 Tbsp of olive oil mayonnaise (or regular mayo)

2 tsp prepared mustard

2 spinach (or regular) tortillas

1 c. shredded romaine lettuce

• In a small bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients until blended.
• Spread over the tortillas.
• Sprinkle with the lettuce.
• Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style.

Serve with low sodium tortilla chips or baked veggie chips and fresh fruit like melon cup.  For melon cup, I use a melon-baller for cantaloupe and watermelon and then add some fresh blackberries or blueberries.  Drizzle a tiny amount of honey over the top or leave plain.


TIP:  for vegan wraps: to replace the tuna, just add in chopped cucumber, tomato, green pepper and yellow pepper.

ENJOY!!
