Low in starch--high in protein and unique taste. It takes a bit longer to prepare than I am used to (shaving all those vegetables)--but I would use it for a luncheon or dinner party.
Thanks for this--a true chef's response to the challenge--new favors for the masses.

instead of tuna try broiling one of these:
carolina snapper, escalar, mahi mahi, american john dory.
Or, for a bigger twist yet, make a quick ceviche with these same fish and add it into the wrapper.
