Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tin of tuna 145g, in brine or spring water, drained
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1-2 gherkins finely chopped
  • 4 sundried tomatoes in oil, drained, finely chopped
  • 2 wheat tortilla wraps large (10in)
  • handful of spinach
  • ¼ bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 70 g Cheddar coarsely grated

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix drained tuna, finely chopped gherkins, sundried tomatoes and mayo. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In the centre of each wheat tortilla wrap arrange some spinach in a verticle line. Spoon half of the tuna mix on top of the spinach, add bell pepper slices and cover everything with grated cheese.
  • Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla over the filling then fold the sides in to create a wrap. We recommend keeping it rather flat, rather than round.
  • Brush a griddle pan (or a non-stick frying pan) with a little oil and heat on medium-high. Add the tuna melt wraps and place another heavy pan (line cast iron skillet) on top to weigh the wraps down.
  • Fry for 2-3 minutes (until brown lines are showing, or the bottom browns and crisps up), then turn and fry on the other side for another 2 -3 minutes.
  • Cut each wrap in half and serve warm with your favourite salad!

Notes

Serve Tuna Melt Wraps warm with a side salad for a satisfying lunch. Or eat them cold for an office lunch or on a hike/ picnic!
