Tuna Patties


Again, this recipe was originally found on BodyBuilding.com by my husband.  My family LOVES these, however.  They like them with a little lemon juice.  I like them just as they are; they don't even taste like tuna!

6 ounce can tuna
1 egg white, beaten
2 Tbs oatmeal
2 Tbsp minced onion
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together with fork in a bowl.  Form patties and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes each side. 

Homemade Wheat Tortillas


These are only half wheat because they hold together better with half white flour.  Still better for you, and quite inexpensive to make.  The lard adds a more authentic flavor (that's what is used in Mexico instead of shortening), but you can use all shortening instead of lard.  I've also made them with a little soy flour or oat flour in place of the white flour.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 Tbs shortening
1/2 Tbs lard

Mix all ingredients in large bowl with hands.  Separate dough into 8-10 balls.  Roll each ball flat, and cook on medium-high heat for about 45 seconds each side.  Freeze well, and store well in fridge.
