Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, as it is typically higher in quality and flavor.
  • Use fresh feta cheese: Fresh feta cheese is creamier and has a more pronounced flavor than pre-crumbled feta.
  • Chop the vegetables finely: Finely chopping the vegetables will help them cook evenly and prevent them from overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Season the tuna salad well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to add flavor and depth to the tuna salad.
  • Don't overstuff the pockets: Overstuffing the pockets will make them difficult to seal and may cause them to burst during baking.
  • Bake the pockets until golden brown: Baking the pockets until they are golden brown will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
