Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe
These cold rollups put a familiar tuna-salad idea into a portable pantry meal. Using unopened mayonnaise packets and opening the fish just before mixing avoids having a partly used jar or pouch sitting around.
Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.
Make it
Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.
Ingredients
- 1 ready-to-eat tuna pouch, 2.6 oz
- 2 flour tortillas, 8 inch
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- 2 tbsp diced dill pickle
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Method
- Drain any loose pouch liquid, then flake the tuna in a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, diced pickle and pepper.
- Divide the filling between the tortillas in narrow stripes through the middle, stopping short of both ends.
- Fold the short ends inward, then roll from the side. Set seam-side down and press lightly to hold the fold.
- Serve promptly, whole or cut into sections with a clean suitable utensil. Refrigerate promptly if not serving immediately.
The useful detail
Drain wet tuna well or the filling will leak.
When the store is different
Use ready-to-eat chicken with the same dressing.
Serving & handling
Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
