Washington-Pantry Salmon Wrap
About 15 minutes, estimated · 2 portions · No cook

Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe
A fish-and-tortilla combination is a practical use of shelf-stable staples. The Washington label refers to the commissary inventory used for inspiration, not a claim that this particular wrap is a local prison tradition.
Place & evidence: Washington inventory inspiration. 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. CCCC 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 salmon pouch, 3 oz
- 2 flour tortillas, 8 inch
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- 2 tsp bottled lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cracker crumbs
Method
- Drain the ready-to-eat salmon thoroughly and break it into flakes, checking for hard bones.
- Mix mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice separately so the dressing is evenly blended.
- Fold dressing and cracker crumbs into the fish without mashing every flake. Rest 1 minute so the crumbs take up some moisture.
- Divide in a narrow strip just below the centre of each tortilla. Fold sides inward, bring the near edge over the filling and roll. Serve seam-side down promptly.
The useful detail
Drain fish before adding crumbs. If the filling looks loose, keep the wraps supported on a plate and eat promptly rather than overfilling them.
When the store is different
Use tuna if salmon is unavailable.
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.
