Tuna Dill Wraps

This is another easy lunch that can be assembled in a few minutes. This lunch wrap is quick, high in fiber and protein, and has mostly "good" fats in it. Still, it's not the healthiest thing I eat, as it contains tuna, a fish I try to eat infrequently due to its high concentrations of mercury, so eat this in moderation. You could also substitute smoked salmon or baked tofu or tempeh in this for a variation.

If you are interested in learning more about the mercury content of fish or in seeing which types of fish are considered to be the most environmentally and ethically fished, you can find information from the NRDC  or on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch page.

Tuna Dill Wrap
1 whole wheat tortilla
1 can chunk light tuna
a tiny bit of grated sharp cheese
2 Tbs plain yogurt
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 red pepper cut into slices
1 carrot, cut into bite-sized pieces
large handfull of Romaine lettuce leaves or sliced cabbage or both
1/2 an avocado, cubed

Lay tortilla on a plate.  Drain the tuna and then place on top of the tortilla. Add all other ingredients in the order listed. Roll up and enjoy.
