Tuna Apple Tortilla Wraps

Ingredients:

2 tortillas (8-inches each)
2 tablespoons 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 (61/2 ounces) tuna in water, drained
1/2 to 1 tablespoon 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

Directions:

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.

Makes 2 wraps.
