Tuna Burrito: A New Take on Tuna Sandwiches

published by Poetic Enigma on Mar 12, 2009

If you are a fan of Tuna sandwiches and Burritos, this may be for you.

After my family had tacos one night, there were some leftover shells.  The next day I decided to make a tuna sandwich, and being the strange person that I am, I decided to use the shells instead of bread. 

Adding cheese made it seem a lot like a burrito, and it just turned into a great recipe, IMHO.

This recipe may not be for everyone.  Some may think it is really odd. However, I thought I would share it anyway. Some out there may find it enjoyable.

Ingredients: (for two servings)

  • 1 can of tuna
  • 2 Taco shells
  • some cheese
  • Mayonnaise (if you use this to make regular tuna sandwiches)
  • Lettuce (optional)
  • Tomatoes (optional)
  • Salsa (optional)
  • Olives (optional)

  • any other condiment you would like

Method:

  1. Make your tuna as you would if you were going to make a regular sandwich.
  2. Put the ingredients in the shell as you would if you were making a taco. Layer cheese, tuna, any of the vegetables you want all on top of each other.
  3. Wrap the shell as if you were making a burrito.
  4. Top with cheese.
  5. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until cheese is melted.
  6. Enjoy!

    It sounds delicious but for me I would substitute the tuna for chicken or ham. I can’t bear tinned tuna or salmon.

    I eat loads of tuna and I’m anything for an easy life in terms of preparing food, great idea!

    This is the most creative tuna rec. I have ever come across. I must admit that I am not a fan of tuna, but this might change my mind because I do love a good burrito.
