So, what do you do with the leftover grilled veggies? Put them in a wrap, of course. YUMMO! It's easy, it's so tasty and nutritious, and the cat loves to lick out the tuna can. Hahahah
Tuna Salad
1 can water packed tuna
1 tb mayo
1/4 cup leftover grilled veggies (peppers, onions) chopped
1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
Some sort of wrapper - tortilla, lettuce leaf, spring roll wrap
Drain the tuna. Add about a tablespoon of mayo and mix well. Dice up the leftover grilled onions and peppers and mix into the tuna. Add cheese if desired. Place a couple of tablespoons of the mixture on your wrapper and fold like a burrito. I got 2 from this recipe when I used a medium tortilla, and about 6 when I used lettuce leaves. Either way, off the charts tasty!

Gourmet Burgers
I know it's been a while since I've posted. We had a tornado go through our town over Memorial Day weekend, and everyone has been busy cleaning up. It's not that we've been eating fast food or anything, but mostly we've had grilled meat and a veggie every night, and leftovers for lunch. Kinda boring. So last night I fixed that. I ran to the farmers market and picked up eggs and a quarter beef, and while I was at the grocery I picked up interesting cheese (aged provolone, drunken goat) lettuce, tomato, red peppers and red onions.
So.......Fire up the grill!
Wash 2 red peppers and lightly brush with oil. Put on the hot grill, and turn frequently until the peppers develop a nice char.
Wash and slice a red onion into 1/4" slices, brush with oil.
Put 2 lbs of hamburger in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well. Divide into 6 balls. Gently form into patties, and put a thumbprint in the center of each one to prevent the burgers from becoming meatballs. The indent in the center will keep the burger flat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place them on the grill. Also add the onion slices at this time. Cook the burgers and onions for about 4-6 minutes per side.
Remove the peppers from the grill using tongs. Cut out the core and remove the seeds, although a few left won't hurt anything. Slice the peppers into 1/2" rings.
Slice the tomato, wash and separate the lettuce leaves, slice the cheese, and set out any condiments you like. Put out the platter of grilled burgers & grilled veggies and let your friends and family create their own deluxe burger.
We don't do buns here. I used lettuce leaves to hold everything together. My son who is also wheat intolerant used corn tortillas, and my husband used a flour tortilla. He liked that he could add all the messy stuff, wrap it tightly, and not make a drippy mess.
