Description
A simple lunch that comes together easily and provides a filling meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chopped red onions or shallots
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes (can sub a tbsp or two of cider vinegar)
- 2 (5- to 6-ounce) cans of tuna packed in olive oil
- 2 (15-ounce) cans of cannellini or Great Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup (loosely packed) chopped parsley or arugula, or 2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Salt and more extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- 1 package of whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup spring salad mix
Instructions
- Sprinkle some of the lemon juice over the chopped onions while you prepare the other ingredients. This will take some of the oniony edge off the onions.
- Combine ingredients in a bowl. Drain the oil from the tuna and put the tuna into a large bowl. Add the beans to the tuna and gently stir to combine.
- Add the onions, herbs, black pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix to combine. Add Tabasco or chili to taste.
- If the salad needs more acid, add a little more lemon juice. If the salad seems a little dry, add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste.
- Chill before serving.
- Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Lay salad mix over tortilla. Spread ½ cup of tuna salad over greens. Fold top and bottom half of tortilla into the middle, turn the tortilla to the open edges and fold over like a burrito.
