Tuna Salad and Cheese Roll Up


I am so excited for warm weather and all the yummy foods that come with it! In that respect--here is a recipe I found by watching Martha a few years ago. It's now a favorite of mine!

Tuna Salad and Cheese Roll-Ups
(marthastewart.com)

1 small crisp apple, peeled, cored, and very finely chopped
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 (6-ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
½ cup light mayonnaise
½ teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lavash flatbread (I use tortillas)
6 slices cheese, such as Kraft Singles
4 lettuce leaves, preferably green leaf

In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice until coated. Add the tuna, celery, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper and stir with a fork until tuna is broken up and mixture is combined. Lay the lavash on a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface and cover with the cheese slices in a single layer, followed by a single layer of lettuce leaves. Evenly place the tuna salad along the bottom edge of the lavash. Using the parchment as a guide, tightly roll the sandwich beginning with a long side and wrap tightly in the parchment, taping the paper as necessary.

So instead of using the parchment paper with the lavash you just roll it in a tortilla? I love wraps and this will be a nice summer lunch. Thanks!

Sounds great. The kiddos would love helping make this and then eating it at a park!
