Notes
Extra tips
This dish is a complete meal in itself and doesn't need any more , maybe other than a glass of your favourite wine. However you can add a side of a simple guacamole , or a spicy salsa to go with these.
If you want to make this a light meal, leave out the tortillas and serve these as tuna salad with onions, tomatoes and mayonnaise dressing.It tastes delicious.
If you are serving these at a party, it is always a good idea to set up a taco's bar. Set up everything- the wraps, tuna filling, sauces, salad, and toppings on a table, and let everyone make their own tacos.
For the salad , instead of having plain onions and tomatoes, you can pickle these in some fresh lemon juice and a hint of salt for some time before serving tacos. Pickled salad makes the tacos so much more fun.
To add to heat , you can serve some chopped green or red chillies as a side.
Sweetener- I used dates molasses as sweeteners. It have a very distinct taste and flavour. It can be substituted with honey or maple syrup.
Preparing Hung curd
Greek yoghurt for the dressing can be substituted with hung curd.I use store bought greek yoghurt for this recipe. If you do not have greek yoghurt , you can use hung curd.This needs to be prepared in advance as it takes time .To make the hung curd, simply sieve the normal curd through a muslin cloth.Leave it to hang for 4-5 hours , so that all the water squeezes through it.Once all the water is squeezed out, you can use the curd for your dressing.
