In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!
Here’s another simple merienda we had earlier, using my favorite ingredient, tuna! hahaha, I can’t imagine our pantry without cans of tuna. I had another discovery in the grocery last week, Jolly Real Mayonnaise. Since I already use some Jolly products at home and they’re all good, I decided to give this a try.
What do you do when you have tuna and mayonnaise at home? Make tuna mayo spread. To amp it up, I brought out my panini maker and used tortillas instead of bread.
Tuna Mayo Wrap: A #JollyRealMayonnaiseRecipe
Tuna Mayo Wrap
Ingredients
1 can tuna flakes in water
1 small onion, chopped
Jolly Real Mayonnaise (start with 3 tbsp. and adjust according to preference)
salt and pepper
1 tomato, sliced
lettuce
Procedure
- Mix the tuna, onion, Jolly Real Mayonnaise in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the tortillas in the panini press.
- Lay the tortilla on a plate, top with lettuce, spread the tuna mayo, and put 3 or 4 slices of tomatoes.
- Serve and eat while the tortilla is warm.
This #JollyRealMayonnaiseRecipe is not only good for merienda, but also for a light lunch or dinner, or when you’re having picnics. Just put the tuna mayo spread in a jar, bring the rest of the ingredients and assemble on the spot.
I haven’t try a tortilla as for replacement for bread…sounds interesting and yummy. The ingredients are so basic but it makes it yummier with mayonnaise in it.
Love din namin ang Tuna specially tuna spread! will try your recipe mare 🙂
Can I just say, i love your photos, your food styling is great visually! Anyhoo, I’m trying out your recipe because it is sort of a healthy way to enjoy mayonnaise. 🙂

I like this one since it’s simple to do and is really tasty and healthy with the lettuce.
This is like an easy recipe to follow and you’re correct about the light lunch or dinner as I can eat this one when I don’t feel like eating heavy. I’m gonna pin this one in my Pinterest. 🙂
