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

Method

  1. Drain the ready-to-eat salmon thoroughly and break it into flakes, checking for hard bones.
  2. Mix mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice separately so the dressing is evenly blended.
  3. Fold dressing and cracker crumbs into the fish without mashing every flake. Rest 1 minute so the crumbs take up some moisture.
  4. 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.
