Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

Mackerel has enough richness to stand up to a mustard-heavy dressing. This wrap keeps the ingredient list short and uses crushed crackers to absorb moisture without burying the flavor of the fish.

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. TDCJ Commissary Price 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 mackerel pouch or tin, about 3.5 oz, drained
2 flour tortillas, 8 inch
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp finely crushed crackers
2 tbsp chopped pickle

Method

Break mackerel into flakes, checking for any hard bones.
Mix mustard, mayonnaise and pickle; fold into the fish.
Add cracker crumbs and rest 1 minute.
Divide onto tortillas, fold ends inward and roll.

The useful detail

Drain the fish first; crumbs should add body rather than rescue excess liquid.

When the store is different

Use drained salmon and bottled lemon juice instead of pickle.

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.
