Ingredients

½ tin of tuna in its own juice (drained weight about 75g)
1 handful of rocket or butterhead lettuce
A few squeezes of lemon juice
1 wholemeal wrap (seed-oil-free)
2 tbsp plain cream cheese (full-fat)
Salt and pepper

Method

You’ll need: oven · frying pan · chopping board · knife · sieve

Wash the rocket or lettuce thoroughly and shake it dry. Drain the tuna.
Warm the wholemeal wrap briefly in a dry frying pan or in the oven until it is soft and easy to fold.
Spread the cream cheese over the wrap and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Spread the tuna and rocket or lettuce evenly on top. Season with a little more pepper if you like.
Roll up the wrap tightly and halve it if needed.

Good to know

When it needs to be quick, this wrap is a really good answer. Creamy and fresh, without feeling heavy.

Swaps

Plain cream cheese → cottage cheese (a little more protein) | wholemeal wrap → corn tortilla (gluten-free; choose one without seed oils) | rocket → baby spinach (milder, also provides fibre and folate)

Allergens

Contains fish, milk and gluten (wholemeal wrap). Well suited to children when mildly seasoned; in pregnancy, limit tinned tuna, as the NHS advises, because of possible mercury.
