Two Step Tuna Tacos

These Two Step Tuna Tacos are Ryan's new favorite weeknight dinner. If you break it down completely, there are more than two steps but only two main steps.... make the slaw and assemble the tacos!


What you need:

1/2 Bag of Dry Cole Slaw Mix
1 Cup of Asian Sesame Salad Dressing (I use either Kraft or Newman's Own)
1 Large Pouch of Tuna
8 Tortillas

1. Combine cole slaw mix and salad dressing. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes
2. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 40 seconds to soften
3. Season tuna with salt and pepper to taste
4. Divide tuna and slaw evenly among the tortillas and fill



If you read my earlier post on easy menu planning, then you know that I love to re-purpose ingredients from one meal to make another so that nothing goes to waste. The last time I made these I was able to use the leftover slaw and leftover tortillas in other recipes. I used the leftover slaw as a side with baked salmon filets and used the tortillas another night to make refried bean roll ups. This is my favorite time  and money saving trick for family meals.
