Ingredients
1 tbsp (15 mL)
vegetable oil
1
onion, finely chopped
1
jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1
small green pepper, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL)
each jerk seasoning and all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL)
milk
2 cans (170 g each)
Clover Leaf Flaked Light Tuna Packed in Water, drained
1/2 tsp (2 mL)
hot sauce (or to taste)
1/4 tsp (1 mL)
each salt and pepper
4
10-inch (25 cm) roti, chapatti or whole-wheat tortillas
1/2 cup (125 mL)
chopped tomato
2 tbsp (30 mL)
finely chopped fresh coriander leaves or green onion
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno, green pepper and jerk seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened. Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Stirring constantly, pour in the milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the tuna, hot sauce, salt and pepper; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is thickened and tuna is heated through.
- Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the roti. Sprinkle with tomato and coriander. Fold in sides of roti and then roll up from the bottom to encase filling. Makes 4 servings.
- Tips:
- Omit the jalapeno and reduce the hot pepper sauce to taste to limit the spiciness of the filling.
- Sprinkle the tuna filing with shredded Cheddar cheese before rolling to add flavour and provide additional calcium.
