Ingredients

• 4 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1 cup mixed bell peppers (chopped)
• 2 cups tuna (drained)
• 3 tbsp tomato puree
• ½ tbsp parsley
• 1 ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp garlic pepper (I use Schwartz brand or use 1 tsp garlic + 1 tsp onion powder)
• ⅛ tsp chilli flakes/powder (optional)
• pink salt to taste
• 1 large lettuce (leaves removed (Romaine or Iceberg Lettuce))

Method

1. Place the lettuce leaves on a plate, ready for the seared tuna
2. On medium heat, add the oil to a frying pan and proceed to saute the onion until soft and translucent.
3. Add the bell peppers and saute until they soften (should take a few minutes).
4. At this stage fold in the tuna then add the tomato puree, parsley and black pepper and garlic pepper, chilli if including
5. Proceed to stir and sear the tuna (add a splash of oil if you need to) for a further 3-4 minutes until the ingredients are combined.
6. Do a taste test and add pink salt, according to taste.
7. Once cooked let the tuna completely cool down before portioning each wrap.
