TUNA AND BEAN SALAD
This is a mainstay in my house, something you can always throw together for an easy light meal. The authentic version would call for tuna packed in olive oil, but I actually prefer water-packed tuna. The salad packs a lot of protein, not just from the beans, but also from the tuna, which is also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Tips:
- Use canned tuna in water: This is a healthier option than tuna packed in oil, and it also helps to keep the salad light and refreshing.
- Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: This will make a big difference in the overall taste of the salad.
- Use fresh cilantro: Cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but be sure to use less since it is more concentrated.
- Don't overcook the corn: You want the corn to be slightly crunchy, so cook it just until it is tender.
- Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or a light mayonnaise-based dressing is all you need to dress this salad. Avoid using heavy dressings, as they will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as you have made it.
Conclusion:
Tuna and black bean salad wraps are a delicious, healthy, and refreshing meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these tuna and black bean salad wraps a try!
