Spicy Not Tuna Wraps

~ raw, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free ~
This creation came about when I had some leftover ingredients in the fridge. I had some corn wraps already made up along with some leftover Not Tuna and presto!
In the picture above I took the wraps and softened them but passing them under the faucet real quick like. I then wrapped it around a metal cone and placed it in the dehydrator for a few hours to create the cone shape. See the picture below.
These were so fun to make. You could easily make this wrap without forming it into a cone. You could just roll it up as well. Use your touch of creativity!
Ingredients:
Yield: 12 tortillas
Wraps:
- 4 cups chopped yellow bell pepper (about 4)
- 3 cups corn, kernels (about 6 ears) use organic only
- 2 cups of zucchini, peeled and chopped (about 2 medium)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and mashed
- 3 Tbsp psyllium powder **add as the last ingredient
Not Tuna Salad:
- 1/2 cup raw almonds, soaked for 24 hours, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds, soaked 4-6 hours, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup water, if needed
- 1/4 cup celery, minced
- 1/4 cup red onion, minced
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp kelp powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried dill weed or 1/2 Tbsp fresh dill weed
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
Preparation:
Wraps:
- Place the yellow bell pepper and zucchini in a high-speed blender, and process until smooth.
- Add the corn kernels, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and salt, and process until smooth.
- Add the avocado and puree again. While the blender is still running, add the psyllium powder and blend well for a few seconds.
- Using 1/2 cup of the mixture for each tortilla, use a small offset spatula to quickly form 4 flat disks on the dehydrator tray lined with a nonstick sheet. Each disk should be about 6 inches in diameter, and they should not quite touch each other.
- Spread the tortillas into round disks quickly, or the mixture will thicken and become difficult to spread.
- Dehydrate at 115 degrees (F) for 4 hours, or until you can easily remove them from the nonstick sheets.
- Turn the tortillas over onto mesh dehydrator screens.
- Place an additional mesh screen on top of each tray. This makes them flatter and easier to store.
- Continue dehydrating another three to four hours, until dry but still flexible.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for up to two months.
- Can be moistened with water to soften.
Not Tuna Salad:
- In the food processor, fitted with the “S” blade, combine; almonds, sunflower seeds, water, celery, onion, lemon juice, kelp powder, salt, and dill. Process to a paste.
- Kelp powder – you can find this at a health food store. I looked at our local grocery stores and couldn’t find it. You could use Dulse Flakes instead if you can’t find the kelp powder or if you want a stronger flavor. We ended up using both.
- Hand mix in parsley, so you don’t end up with a green paste.
- Serve with crudités, crackers, or as a filling in tortillas and wraps.
- Crudités basically means veggie tray. Crudités are traditional French appetizers comprising sliced or whole raw vegetables which are dipped in a vinaigrette or another dipping sauce. Crudités often include celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus spears. I had never heard that word before school. I figure I can’t be the only person out there who is unfamiliar with that word … am I?

Tonite I made Nori Rolls using your recipe for Not Salmon, without the dill. Ohhh so good and easy. I spread it over the nori sheet pretty thin, then did strips of red pepper, cukes, carrot and avocado strips, and finally some spinach leaves. Then I rolled the roll in sesame seeds. Very tasty and filling, and I think the Not Salmon really added to the overall flavor. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe.
Wow Annie! You have been busy in the kitchen. hehe I LOVE it! I absolutely love the Not Tuna / Salmon spread. You know what would make an awesome treat? Make a cracker…take a nori sheet and lay it on the counter, spread a layer of Not Tuna / Salmon on it, all the way to the edges, maybe about 1/4″ thick, place another nori sheet on top and dehydrate till dry. Also, give the Thai Nori Cracker recipe a try. They are amazing!! Let me know if you try either of these. I think you will be pleased.
You have some of my favorite recipes. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful presentation too!
Thank you Frances. :)
I’ve moved to Canada from Australia and waiting for my dehydrator on a very slow ship. I just can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m loving your blog.
Waiting for stuff in the mail is like watching a pot of water boil. hehe I hope it arrives soon!
hi, amie-sue! i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog!! i can (and do) spend hours here and alternate between laughing and drooling.
would you please tell me where to find metal cones?
thanks so much…
Good evening Shireen,
I HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, to hear that you are enjoying the site. hehe If you ever have any questions regarding my postings, you know how to reach me. :)
The metal cones can be found in multiple places. For starters….Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-Cream-Horn-Molds/dp/B0000CFMSP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325384675&sr=8-1)
I have also seen them at local kitchen stores. I don’t know what stores surround you but I would take a peek in them and see if they have them.
Happy New Year!! amie sue
Thank you so much, Amie-Sue, and Happy New Year to you as well. By the way, I am a fellow recent (November) LL grad. :o)
Congratulations Shireen! Shoot me an email, I would love to hear your plans!!
I’d love to “talk” to you but, duh, but I’m not sure where/how to locate your email address. Please send me and I’ll reply. :o)
Oh, that would help huh? haha Sorry. You can email me through [email protected] :)
Is there a substitute for psyllium powder?
Giselle,
You can use ground flax as a replacement. Have a great day!
Is there a replacement for corm in the tortilla?
Chris, you could use zucchini, just remember that the flavor will be altered. You can either peel the zucchini or not, rough chop it and then shred it in your food rpcoessor. Don’t process to mush though, you might want to add a flax meal to absorb some of the released water in the zucchini. amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue,
Would you please explain the homogenizing process with the almonds in the vitamix? What do I want the final outcome to look like? Thanks!
Morning Robyn,
The outcome is creating a pate’ texture. It won’t be creamy smooth but will have small bits in it. Basically, you put some water in the craft, then the almonds and blend till it brakes down. I don’t recommend it for non-high powered blender. It can be taxing on the motor. Start with less water and add small amounts until you can get the mixture to move. you will have to stop and scrap the sides down from time to time. As I mentioned above, don’t double this recipe. It’s to much for a blender. You can use a food processor using the same basic technique. You can control how chunky or semi-smooth you want the outcome to be. If you have the tamper with your vitamix, use that to help move things around to as well. Making sure that you soak the nuts (for many reasons) will help soften them as well for this step. Does that help? amie sue

Hi Amie-sue, unfortunately I am unable to use corn ( my clients is on a strict cancer diet ) what can I substitute in it’s place?
Hello Taw,
If she can’t do corn, I would maybe look through some of my other recipes to see if one is better suited. https://nouveauraw.com/raw-recipes/wraps/
I am sorry that she is battling cancer. Sending love, amie sue
