Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the tuna mixture. If you prefer a healthier twist, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade version or a low-fat alternative. Frozen spinach can be used in place of broccoli if desired. This dish can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roll-ups with a crisp green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with Kathryn's Famous Tuna Casserole for a comforting seafood dinner. For a complete meal, consider adding a light vinaigrette on the salad to complement the richness of the roll-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen?
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh broccoli! Just steam or blanch it until tender before chopping it into 1-inch pieces. Fresh broccoli will add a bright flavor and a nice texture to the roll-ups.
What can I substitute for the flour tortillas?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, corn tortillas work well as a substitute. You can also use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative. Just ensure they are pliable enough to roll without tearing.
Can I prepare the roll-ups in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the roll-ups a day in advance. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator before baking. When ready to cook, simply pour the prepared soup mixture over the top and bake as directed.
