Do you plan your lunch out in advance? Since my kids mostly take bag lunches from home they are always top of mind, but I rarely think of myself. When lunch rolls around each day for me, I typically find myself looking in my refrigerator hoping for some inspiration. Unfortunately my lack of lunch ideas means what I eat isn’t always healthy or satisfying. With just a little planning, I can have a lunch that is filling and easy to prepare, like these easy Buffalo Lettuce Wraps.
Flavored Tuna Pouches
Canned tuna might be a lunchtime staple, but it has come along way. Single-serve StarKist tuna pouches have made tuna more portable and easy to eat. Having to drain your tuna or find a can opener is a thing of the past. Now you can enjoy tuna wherever, whenever simply by tearing open a tuna pouch and digging in with a fork. You can just Tear. Eat. And Go! I love to enjoy it on a cracker for an easy snack option.
Flavored tuna takes tuna to another level and StarKist has kicked up the heat with their 6 BOLD varieties, including StarKist Tuna Creations® BOLD Thai Chili Style, Tuna Creations® BOLD Jalapeño, Tuna Creations® BOLD Hot Buffalo Style, Tuna Creations® BOLD Tapatío, Tuna Creations® BOLD Sriracha and Tuna Creations® BOLD with Rice & Beans in Hot Sauce.
I love buffalo wings so I couldn’t wait to give the Tuna Creations® BOLD Hot Buffalo variety a try. StarKist combined premium tuna with cayenne peppers for an authentic and BOLD Buffalo Sauce taste.
Buffalo Lettuce Wraps
I set out to create a lunch that was low carb and high in protein but stayed as true to the traditional buffalo flavor we all know and love. Mixing ranch or blue cheese dressing with a coleslaw mix and celery is a perfect combination with this buffalo flavored tuna pouch.
I served this on a very large romaine lettuce leaf but there is enough filling for two leaves if you prefer. I topped mine with some sliced green onion for garnish and a little extra flavor.
These buffalo lettuce wraps are the answer to my indecisive lunch habits. Each pouch is a good source of lean protein and contains 110 calories or less to keep me fueled. This low carb lunch idea is one that fills me up without any guilt.
