Tuna Salad Wraps

Yea, this is a bit of a departure from vegetarian but I think I'll look into a vegetarian alternative in the future. I ate this for lunch pretty much every day last week. I made up a batch of the tuna salad at the beginning of the week and assembled the wrap in a matter of minutes each day. This is, of course, a very basic and easily customizable idea. I would normally put a chopped pickle or celery in my tuna salad for crunch but the "toppings" here take care of that.

Ingredients:

• 2 pouches or cans of tuna (1 can of mashed chickpeas may be a good vegetarian alternative, I'll get back to you on that)
• a few tablespoons of hummus
• 3 hard boiled eggs, chilled
• a bit of mayo or plain yogurt (just enough to reach desired consistency)
• a handful of chopped cilantro (or your fresh herb of choice)
• a small handful of chopped pecans or walnuts or sunflower seeds
• salt and pepper to taste
• various toppings for sandwich assembly, I like sliced black olives, sliced red peppers, baby spinach, feta cheese
• flat bread or big tortillas (I used Flat Out Bread)

Directions:

• peel and dice the eggs and mix together with tuna, hummus, mayo, cilantro, nuts, salt and pepper.
• Chill (it will keep in the fridge for a few days)
• Assemble your sandwich by placing your favorite toppings and the tuna salad in the middle of the wrap and roll it up. 

Lindy Loo has a well received vegan "mock tuna salad" recipe that seems worth trying if you don't do tuna :)
