Lettuce wraps with sriracha tuna filling are the perfect appetizer or meal! They’re so fresh-tasting and are full of nutritious, satisfying ingredients!
My birthday is coming up on April 22nd! That means I’ll be another year older and wiser too. I like to dwell heavily on the wiser part so the grey hairs and wrinkles don’t get me down. 🙂 We don’t have many plans so far, other than chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream. After all, it wouldn’t be my day if it didn’t involve chocolate in large quantities.
Guess what special occasion is also on April 22nd? Earth Day! So because I love food and I love this beautiful earth, what could be better than putting together some totally delectable lettuce wraps that are good for us and for the environment? It’s a win-win situation!
I was raised on tuna sandwiches. I used to eat them with an entire stalk of green onion.
Weird? Maybe.
But good? Certainly!
Though my breath didn’t fare so well afterwards, I used to look forward to lunch time, knowing the goodness that awaited me.
My tuna-loving taste buds have not changed, even as an adult. I still enjoy finding ways to incorporate it into our meals because it’s just so darn delicious and nutritious!
Today’s recipe surely wouldn’t be complete without a hefty helping of Wild Selections® Solid White Albacore Tuna! It includes premium quality, sustainably sourced fish and simple, all-natural ingredients.
Plus, Wild Selections® gives back to the oceans by donating 13 cents from every can sold—a total of $1 million by 2018—to World Wildlife Fund marine conservation and fishery improvement projects. Wild Selections is the only brand to “pay it forward” and act on its belief to take care of the oceans for the future, not just fishing sustainably in the present. Pretty cool!
Bottom line is, these Sriracha Tuna Lettuce Wraps are the perfect way to eat well while working to support a healthy environment. I’m a big fan.
The combination of the Wild Selections® tuna with the cream cheese and sriracha sauce, celery, apple and sunflower seeds is unmatched! Wrap it all up in a piece of crisp lettuce and I think I’ve died and gone to heaven!
These are restaurant worthy!
Here’s how to make them:
