Lockdown Cooking: Canned Tuna Upgrade

almost 4 years ago (Edited)

Has the "curve" flattened already?

It's been a while since I last checked the UAE stats (or PH, or worldwide stats) and I am surprised to find out that it has touched the 16k mark already!₁ Hundreds are still being confirmed every day.

That being said, there is absolutely no reason to be complacent at this point. This is far from over.

Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic happened, I have dreaded going to the grocery. It's just too stressful. Each time that I do, I add a few more canned goods to stock at home "just in case".

Cooking has been a challenge for me recently, and I know for you too. There are some households that are lucky to be recipients of donations, most of them canned goods. Some have already kept a big stash of canned goods, and now the challenge is to find ways to be creative in the kitchen to satisfy our loved ones.

I found a canned tuna in my pantry cabinet and thought of a new way to present it to hubby @kennyroy and kids. I have done chicken fajitas a couple of times already in the past, and because @kennyroy does not eat chicken, he has not yet tried it. I'm not sure how the recipe will go with tuna, but I am in the mood for another kitchen experiment.

Ingredients:

1 canned tuna
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 onion, julienned
capsicum, sliced
2 tbps tomato sauce
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder
flour tortilla wraps

Procedure:

Again, you do not need to be a kitchen expert to pull this through.

Simply saute the onion and tomatoes on a pan, then add the canned tuna once the tomato has slightly wilted. Add the tomato sauce and seasoning; you can adjust measurements according to taste.

Lay your flour tortilla and add your tuna. Add a generous amount of cheddar cheese then fold into a wrap.
