With these colorful beetroot tortillas, you can serve a beautiful and inviting appetizer or a party snack. They're also great as an afternoon snack or a light dinner. With a touch of blue cheese dip with roasted pecans, your taste buds will sing and dance!

Fresh peppermint might not be the most common ingredient in tortillas or tuna recipes, but it adds a beautiful fresh note to the tortillas and deserves a place in this dish.

Make sure to also save the recipe for a fresh and healthy tuna salad—the filling can be just as well served as a salad without tortillas. Or check out our no-mayo tuna pasta salad for another excellent salad alternative featuring canned tuna.

Ingredients

To make these tuna beetroot tortilla wraps, you'll need:

• Beetroot tortillas (use wheat beetroot tortillas of any brand of your choice)
• Canned tuna (opt for tuna chunks in brine)
• Canned corn
• Red onion
• Fresh arugula (arugula has a specific taste, and not everyone loves it—if you're not into arugula, feel free to replace it with Iceberg or Romaine lettuce; however, arugula fits this dish perfectly)
• Fresh peppermint (just a few leaves)
• Cherry tomatoes
• Mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce (for the dressing)
• Ground black or lemon pepper (no salt needed!)

Directions

1. Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise with sweet chili sauce. If you're in a hurry, you can do it directly on the tortillas. The fewer dirty dishes, the happier the mood!
2. Wash the veggies. Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and cut the onion into thin slices (half rings).
3. Spoon the sauce over each tortilla.
4. Add the filling in the middle of each tortilla—tomatoes, arugula, peppermint leaves, onion, corn, and tuna.
5. Wrap the tortillas and cut them in halves.
