Their beautiful presentation and great taste make them a top recommendation for picnic lunches. Let’s all make them together!
Main Ingredients- 2 Tortillas
- 1 can Tuna (drained)
- 1/2 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1/2 Onion
- 3 Tbsp Corn Kernels
- 1 handful Lettuce
- 4 slices Cheese
- 4 slices Ham
Salad Dressing- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. For the canned tuna, make sure to drain out all the oil thoroughly before proceeding. This ensures a better texture and flavor.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion. Washing it first and then dicing it into small, uniform pieces will add a pleasant texture to the salad.
Step 3
Dice the red bell pepper. After removing the seeds, chop it into small pieces. This adds a vibrant color and a mild sweetness.
Step 4
Finely dice the cucumber as well. Wash it, remove the seeds if desired, and then chop it into small pieces for an added refreshing crunch.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced onion, bell pepper, cucumber, and corn kernels. Add the mayonnaise, sugar, and salt. Mix everything together well to create a delicious tuna salad.
Step 6
Stir the tuna salad until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Your flavorful tuna salad is now ready!
Step 7
Lightly toast the tortillas. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast each tortilla for about 1 minute per side. This step prevents the tortilla from tearing when you roll it into a sandwich.
Step 8
Spread a thin layer of honey mustard onto the toasted tortilla, if desired. (This is optional; you can also use your favorite sauce.)
Step 9
Arrange a layer of fresh lettuce leaves on the tortilla. Follow this with slices of cheese and ham.
Step 10
Generously spoon the prepared tuna salad over the ham and cheese. Be careful not to overfill, as it might make rolling difficult.
Step 11
Tightly roll up the tortilla, similar to how you would roll sushi or kimbap. Ensure it’s snug to hold all the fillings together.
Step 12
Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This helps the sandwich firm up and makes it easier to slice.
Step 13
Unwrap the chilled tortilla roll and slice it into your desired portion sizes. You’ve now created beautiful and delicious Tuna Tortilla Roll Sandwiches! They are perfect for on-the-go meals and special occasions.
