A Tuna Transformation...

If there is anyone out there who gets excited at the thought of tuna, raise your hand. That's what I thought... dry, stinky fish has it's place, but there is only so much you can take. Well, shake of those old tuna chains and get a pita full of this!!! Total tuna transformation! I'm not real big on tuna-fish normally, and I'm always looking for a way to disguise it. I could eat this any night! The sweetness is gentle and PERFECT- even the kids liked it! The nuts and cranberries are a must! (Don't cut corners on this one!) Just a great colorful collection! I'll be making this one again soon! Got this on the table in no time- a good one for a busy night!
