Tuna Roll-ups

I really do like tuna & so does the rest of the family. It's just that I've become complacent about thinking outside of the norm of 'tuna on a bun' for our Friday meals away from home. So, this is another attempt to spice it up a bit.

Tuna Roll-Ups
Yield: 4 roll-ups

Ingredients:
1 - 6oz. can drained canned water-packed tuna
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 Tablespoons chopped celery
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish*
4 four tortillas - 8" is a good size

Mix tuna, cheese, celery, mayo and relish. Spread evenly on the tortillas; roll up. Place seam side down on a microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds or until the cheese begins to melt. To serve cold, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

It would be easy to substitue another meat ... turkey, chicken or ham would be good, as well. You could also eliminate the tortillas and serve the spread on English muffin halves or bagel halves.

*Normally, relish is something I can myself. My version isn't as sweet as store bought, so Miracle Whip could be substituted for the mayo without being too sweet.
