Tortilla wraps with tuna and chicken seasoned with herbs

I like wrapping things in tortillas because there's no limit to the versions that you can come up with. There is only one trick to it: you have to warm the tortillas up otherwise they will break. I don't recommend microwaving them, it's a lot better if you throw them in a dry and hot pan, and give each side no more than 30 seconds. It's healthier and they will taste even better. If you don't know how to wrap a tortilla, you might find this link useful:


 6 tortillas (25 cms in diameter) should easily serve 4 people.

Ingredients for the tuna filling:
  • 1 can of tuna in brine
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo
  • juice of quarter of a lemon
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
Drain the tuna and with loosen up the chunks with a fork, add the mayo and the lemon juice, the salt and the pepper and give it a thorough stir. You want to taste it and add more lemon juice or salt, if needed.


Ingredients for the chicken:
  • one chicken breast fillet
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
Slice the chicken breast up any way you like really, I cut it into thinner slices, and cook each side for only a couple of minutes so that they don't become dry. Don't forget to sprinkle some salt and pepper on top of each side.


Ingredients for the sauce with herbs:
  • 3 tablespoons of sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon of mayo
  • 1 handful of chives
  • 1 handful of thyme
  • a bit of parsley
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper 
Chop all of the herbs fine, the thyme leaves you only need to pick from the stems, and add everything to the mayo and sour cream. Add the salt and the pepper, stir it and then taste!





There's only one thing left to do: fill the tortillas and wrap them up. What I added to the one with chicken was iceberg salad, ruccola, cherry tomatoes cut in halves, finely chopped spring onions, some cheese and of course the sauce. The one with the tuna also had some ruccola in it, along with spring onions, tomatoes, cheese and I tried one with sauce in it, it was awesome!
