Meatless Meals #2 - Tuna Wraps/Croissants

Today's meatless recipes are Tuna Wraps/Croissants. 

We like to serve these with fresh cut fruit or a deli style pickle spear.

Tip: When shopping for pickles, I try to avoid anything with dyes, high fructose corn syrup, or a lot of preservatives...I usually find these in the refrigerator section.

These wraps/sandwiches are so fast and delicious that I think we'll end up making them for lunch every Friday.

Here is the recipe for our "Classic Wrap":

• 5-6 whole wheat/spinach tortillas
• 1 package tuna ( I like to use the family 11oz packages by StarKist because it ends up being the perfect amount for our family. I also prefer this over canned tuna because tuna cans are lined with a plastic film that contains BPA) 

• Mayo/Salad Dressing to taste (E.V.O.O. may be substituted for the mayo. Do what you like)
• 2-3 on the vine tomatoes sliced (these tend to be a little smaller than other tomatoes but make up for it with their wonderfully fresh flavor)
• Red onion finely chopped/thinly sliced (to taste)
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)
• Lettuce (we use what we've got which usually ends up being spinach, romaine, or Spring mix...we like dark green)
• Provolone/Swiss Cheese (we prefer Provolone in Wraps and Swiss in Croissants)

For a little extra "zing" try a few of these optional additions:

• fresh cilantro (chopped)
• olives sliced (Calamari or black)
• a zip of lemon/lime juice
• a little pesto
• minced Serrano pepper

Directions: Mix the tuna and mayo together. Add tuna and toppings to your tortilla. Wrap it up. Enjoy!

Variation: If you're feeling adventurous try eliminating the tortillas and replacing them with large romaine/butter lettuce leaves (wrapping all the tuna and toppings in the leaves) and adding black beans. Yum!
