Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 17

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE SANDWICH
5 oz tuna, water packed (1 can), more on this later
3 oz coleslaw, more on this later
1 - 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, plain variety
1 Tbsp relish, dill variety
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
2 medium kaiser rolls, or bread of choice
OPTIONAL ITEMS
frank's hot sauce
white pepper in place of black pepper
lettuce leaves
thin slices, fresh tomato
provolone cheese slices
chips or fries
a nice pickle wedge

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. It is no secret that my favorite tuna is Wild Planet... Not just because they are sustainably fished, but it tastes so dang good. If you can get it, I would suggest you give it a try. Regardless of your choice, make sure it is water packed. https://www.wildplanetfoods.com
  • 3. The coleslaw I am using is a typical variety, much like a Kentucky coleslaw. Here is the recipe that I used: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=3
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Drain the tuna, add to a bowl with the other sandwich ingredients, and lightly toss, until just combined.
  • 6. Chef's Note: If you substitute white pepper, for the black, you will get more of a "sweet" heat. In addition, if you add a dash or two Frank's hot sauce, you will give it a bit of a savory kick that goes quite well with the coleslaw.
  • 7. Divide the tuna, and add half each to the bottom of two toasted buns.
  • 8. Chef's Tip: I added some butter lettuce leaves to the toasted buns for two reasons: First, I like butter lettuce. Second, it insulates the bun from the tuna, and helps keep it from getting soggy.
  • 9. If you want to kick it up, add two thinly-sliced tomatoes, top with a piece of provolone, and stick under a broiler, for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmm.
  • 10. Chef's Tip: If you are using the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of salt, and black pepper on them before adding the provolone. Tomatoes just beg for salt and black pepper.
  • 11. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 12. Serve with chips or fries, a nice pickle (sweet or dill), and maybe a few tall cold ones. Enjoy.
  • 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

TUNA LETTUCE WRAPS



Tuna Lettuce Wraps image

These are a low-calorie, low-carb, but very tasty, light alternative to a tuna wrap sandwich! Try to choose larger leaves of lettuce with no tears or holes; lettuce leaves are replacing the tortilla in a traditional wrap sandwich. Cheese is optional, but even a little adds a lot of flavor.

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
2 cups premixed coleslaw mix
4 tablespoons creamy low-fat Italian salad dressing

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a bowl with a snap-lid.
  • I use 2 big handfulls of the slaw mix- but that isn't an"approved" measurement.
  • Shake well to mix.
  • Keep refrigerated til ready to eat.
  • Can add cheese, olives, tomatoes as desired.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 153.5, Fat 4.7, SaturatedFat 0.8, Cholesterol 39.3, Sodium 758.9, Carbohydrate 5.3, Fiber 1.6, Sugar 3.9, Protein 22.2

Tips:

  • For the perfect tuna salad, use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
  • When making the coleslaw, use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to stay crisp and fresh.
  • For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette-based dressing.
  • To assemble the wraps, start by layering the tuna salad on the tortilla. Then, top with the coleslaw, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
  • For a more flavorful wrap, use a flavored tortilla. You can find tortillas flavored with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, or whole wheat.

Conclusion:

Tuna and coleslaw wraps are a delicious and easy lunch or dinner option. They are perfect for packing in a lunch bag or taking on a picnic. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect tuna and coleslaw wrap every time.
