PESTO TUNA WRAPS



Pesto Tuna Wraps image

Pesto and ranch dressing make a flavorful tuna salad. This makes a quick and easy lunch out of stuff I usually have on hand. I like adding lots of crunchy veggies, so I add bell peppers, celery, chopped apple, or whatever else I have. Use more or less ranch dressing and pesto, depending on how you like it.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces canned tuna
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
3 tablespoons ranch dressing or 3 tablespoons light ranch salad dressing
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated or 1 cup monterey jack cheese
2 cups lettuce
2 flour tortillas
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces of sliced black olives
2 stalks celery, chopped (AND or OR)
1/2 apple, chopped into small pieces

Steps:

  • Wash and dry lettuce and tear into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Open tuna and drain well. Drain black olives, too.
  • Mix tuna, pesto, and ranch dressing in a bowl.
  • Mix in cheese, black olives, chopped celery, chopped apples, and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Warm tortillas lightly in hot cast iron pan or in oven. (I use my toaster oven.) Tortillas should be warmed until soft and flexible, but not long enough to get dry or crisp. (That's the secret of a good wrap.).
  • Place tortilla on a flat surface.
  • Scatter lettuce onto tortilla.
  • Spoon Tuna salad on top of the lettuce.
  • Roll up your wrap and you're done!
  • WRAPPING TIPS - grab the tortilla at 3 and 9 o'clock, and fold each side in about 1/3 towards the middle. Then fold from 6 o'clock up, tucking the edge of the tortilla up and aroundthe fillings and sort of curling it under the filling a bit. Then roll forwards, pulling towards you a bit as you go, and ending with the loose edge of the tortilla on the underside of the roll. I hope that makes sense! Spreading a very thin layer of dressing or sauce over the tortilla before adding the filling makes it hold together better. But you can use toothpicks. I like to slice wraps into 2 halves, but that's just presentation.

PESTO TUNA

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (6 ounce) can chunk light chunk tuna in water, drained
2 baby carrots, finely grated
1 1/2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, heaping
1 1/2 teaspoons whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1/3 teaspoon curry powder (more or less to taste)
1/3 teaspoon celery salt
1/3 teaspoon sugar
red grapes, cut into 8 ths (added ONLY right before serving!)
1 stalk celery, diced small
tortillas or pita bread

Steps:

  • Open your can of tuna and drain well.
  • Empty contents of can into a bowl, and add mayo and ricotta.
  • Shred your carrots into the bowl, and stir well.
  • Add all spices, and stir thoroughly.
  • Add celery and mix through.
  • Heat your tortilla in a heated skillet until warm and slightly crispy, OR toast your pita.
  • Add grapes to tuna mixture and stir lightly.
  • Spread desired amount of tuna on tortilla OR in pita, and serve!
  • I like to serve with some sliced pears on the side; it adds a nice touch!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna: Opt for high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it can have a strong flavor.
  • Make Your Own Pesto: Fresh homemade pesto adds a delicious burst of flavor to the wraps. If you don't have time, use store-bought pesto, but choose a high-quality brand with a vibrant green color.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro add a pop of flavor and color to the wraps. Use fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Don't Overstuff the Wraps: Keep the wraps manageable by not overstuffing them. This will make them easier to roll and eat.
  • Chill the Wraps Before Serving: Chilling the wraps for at least 30 minutes before serving helps the flavors meld together and makes them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Pesto tuna wraps are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. With their combination of protein, healthy fats, and fresh vegetables, these wraps are a nutritious and satisfying choice. Whether you're packing them for a picnic or enjoying them at home, pesto tuna wraps are sure to be a hit.
