Recipe #13: Tuna Wrap - On the Go

Welcome July! This month's theme has something to do with Merienda. Yes ---the meal that's not quite a meal, which is taken in between meals to fend off one's hunger for the next meal.

My husband is out on a trip today. He is off to go Pawikan-sighting in Bataan. Yesterday I was concerned that there might not be enough places to eat in the rural areas. Though my husband assured me that they'd be served free lunch and dinner, I wanted to make sure that he wouldn't go hungry in between. Since I was planning to have Tuna wrap today anyway, I decided to make it last night instead so he could have packed wraps on his trip on which to snack on.

You'll need:

-tortilla wraps, about 8 inches in diameter, cut in halves
-canned tuna chunks in water, drained - I recommend tuna in water instead of tuna in vegetable oil
-garlic, peeled and diced
-onion, peeled and diced
-salt and pepper
-tomatoes, diced
-lettuce
-quick melt cheese, cubed
-mayonnaise

How to:
-In a hot pan, saute your tuna with garlic and onions
-add salt and pepper to taste, set aside
-toast your halved tortilla wraps in an oven toaster on high heat for about a minute
-lay your toasted wrap on a flat surface
-add a portion of tuna
-top with diced tomatoes and cubed cheese



-add about a leaf or two of lettuce
-top with about a teaspoonful of mayo
-roll




Serve.


Kain na!

How I wish I could go pawikan-sighting with dear hubby today. Except that, his trip is a company trip. It is sponsored by his employer, OOCL Inc, and I didn't want to spoil his fun by being the strict-overlooking-wife that I am. It suffices that he has taken a part of me with him...the tuna wrap I made for him last night to defer his hunger until lunch and/or dinner is served. I hope he enjoys both the wrap and the sights.

Who says you have to spend for a great meal? This dish costs about P150 all in and it can feed four hungry people for merienda . So get your cooking gear out and start the fire.

Your hot cook,
Hahan
