Sriracha Tuna Salad Wrap


Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil 
  • 1/3 cup regular, real mayo
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 1 regular lime 1/2 teaspoon zest, 2 and 1/2 tablespoons juice
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1-2 large avocados
  • 1 heaping cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Optional: salt and pepper, fresh lime
Directions:
  1. Thoroughly drain the tuna.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mayo, Sriracha, lime zest, lime juice, and white sugar. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and whisk until smooth. Add in the tuna and gently stir until combined.
  3. Prep the veggies: thinly slice the avocados, cut the cucumber into matchsticks, thinly slice the red pepper, and coarsely chop a large handful of cilantro.
  4. Lay out the tortillas. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  5. Top the tuna with even amounts of sliced avocado, matchstick carrots, cucumber, red pepper, and cilantro.
  6. Add some salt and pepper and fresh lime juice if desired.
  7. Roll up tightly and enjoy immediately. (Do not make these in advance as the tuna will get the tortilla soggy.)

Apple Fritter Bread


INGREDIENTS:

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped to ½-inch dice
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1-½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-¾ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon milk, divided
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan with pan spray. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, combine the diced apples with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir to mix. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the granulated sugar. Beat the eggs in one at a time until completely mixed. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  6. Add the ½ cup of milk and mix until smooth.
  7. Add the flour and baking soda mix to the butter mixture, and stir until well-blended.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer half of the apple mixture on top of the batter, followed by half of the brown sugar mixture. Gently press the apples into the batter.
  9. Add the remaining batter to the pan, followed by the remaining apples and brown sugar mixture. Lightly press the apples into the batter and swirl the brown sugar between the apple chunks and into the batter.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  11. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix until smooth, and then drizzle over the cooled bread.
