I love this recipe, even though I don't love tuna. I changed it to match what I had in the house and the diet I was on and it was super. I used fresh red pepper strips and only about 1/4 cup of cheese. I used low fat cream cheese. I heated the tuna and the peppers in the microwave for about 30 seconds before mixing and I put the whole mixture into one large whole wheat tortilla and folded it over.
