Easy and delicious! Actually made these with regular flour and for the filling, I blended using an immersion blender – 1 tin starkist tuna in oil together with the oil, mayo, black pepper and 1 large boiled egg. Delicious!!

Yay! These are great! We mixed tuna and salsa like the taco recipe from this website and filled it with that. Thanks!
