TUNA APPLE TORTILLA WRAPS

Makes 2 wraps.

The flour tortillas make this a light, quick-and-easy lunch that is lean and healthful.
 

• 2 tortillas (8 inches each)
• 2 T spread, such as herbed cream cheese, pureed roasted peppers, hummus, or baba ghanousch
• 1 large sweet-tart apple, washed, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1 can (6 1/2 ounces) tuna in water, drained
• 1/2 to 1 T reduced-fat mayonnaise or sour cream
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• Mild curry powder (optional)
• 2 scallions with green tops, cut in half then sliced lengthwise
 

Place the tortillas on dinner plates and spread each with 1 tablespoon of the spread of your choice.

Arrange apple slices down the center of the tortillas, staying well within 1 inch from the edges.

In a small bowl, flake the tuna and combine with the mayonnaise and pepper.

Spoon the tuna mixture over the apple slices.
Sprinkle with a dash of mild curry powder, if desired.
Top with the scallions.
Roll the wraps from front to back and serve immediately.

To take along in a lunch box or brown bag, wrap securely in plastic wrap or place in a resealable plastic bag.
