Pita and nan bread works well too. Fresh Albacore and Ahi tuna are readily available and you don’t need a lot to make a filling. For 3 100/150 grams will do and easy to grill, broil or pan fry. I season mine with sea salt pepper hot sauce and olive oil. I add some fresh chopped cilantro, minced garlic and a dash of smoked paprika with a squeeze of lime juice....
