Tuna Burrito Recipes

TUNA BURRITO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• In a small bowl, mix the tuna with the cumin, chili powder and lime juice.
• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook for ten minutes or until softened and a bit charred. Don't stir too often. Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
• To build the burritos, divide the refried beans evenly amongst the tortillas. Top with the rice, tuna, sauteed peppers and onions, cheese and cilantro.
• To wrap the tortillas, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling. Roll it in tightly towards yourself. Fold up the two sides on either end and finish firmly rolling the burrito to the top.
• Add the burritos seam side down to a baking dish and cover with tinfoil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Cut each burrito in half and serve with sour cream and salsa.

TUNA BURRITO

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine together drained tuna, sweetcorn, finely chopped celery, minced onion, mayonnaise, rice, salt and pepper. Mix well. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
• Thinly slice cucumber and place about 10 slices in the center of tortilla (10-inch/25-centimeters), in a row. Cover them with about a quarter of the tuna filling. Sprinkle with cheese (optional) and roll into burrito (check process photos above this recipe card).
• Wrap the ends in aluminum foil and cut in half (see note 6).
• Enjoy!

TUNA SUSHI BURRITO

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, put the sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 4 tablespoons of the vinegar in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 30 second. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Let cool completely.
• Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice (reserve the bowl for the tuna). Let cool to room temperature, uncovered.
• In the reserved bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, a pinch of salt and pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Stir in the tuna and scallions.
• Put a 20-by-15-inch piece of parchment on a clean work surface. Place 4 sheets of the nori shiny-side down on the parchment to create a 15-inch square, overlapping them by about 1/4 inch. Lightly brush the overlapping edges of the nori with water and press them together to help seal them.
• Dampen your hands with a bit of cold water and spread half of the rice in an even layer all over the nori, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the furikake evenly over the rice. Lay half of the carrot, cucumber, pepper and avocado on top of the furikake horizontally along the bottom third of the rice, not going onto the nori. Spoon half the tuna on top of the vegetables.
• Wrap like a burrito: fold the nori edge closest to you over the filling. Fold the 2 sides inward to seal the ends and roll the whole thing over once more to completely seal; use a little water if needed to help close the seal. Wrap the burrito up tightly in a large piece of parchment or wax paper. Repeat this process to make a second burrito with the remaining ingredients. Cut the burritos in half on the bias and serve.
