Ingredients

• 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 2 cans (5 ounces each) Canned tuna
• 1 medium, julienned Carrot
• 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, loosely packed Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup, loosely packed Fresh mint leaves
• 4 large, torn in half Lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber and thinly slicing the red bell pepper. Arrange all the prepared vegetables and herbs (cilantro and mint) on a platter for easy access.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish or skillet with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 15-20 seconds or until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully remove it and place it on a clean, slightly damp surface like a cutting board.

Step 4

Lay half a lettuce leaf on the lower third of the rice paper wrapper. Add a small amount of the seasoned tuna, followed by a few pieces of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of cilantro and mint leaves.

Step 5

To roll, fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 6

Serve the tuna spring rolls immediately as they are, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce.
