Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Cut each tortilla into 8 triangles (use scissors if easier). Place in a bowl with 1 tbsp of water and mix until they all have a light covering of water and are slighty sticky to the touch.
c) Place on a large baking tray in a single layer and evenly sprinkle over the lemon & herb seasoning. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
d) Bake on the top shelf of your oven until lightly golden brown and crisp, 8-10 mins, then set aside. TIP: Keep an eye on them to make sure they colour evenly.
a) Trim the cucumber, halve widthways, then lengthways. Scoop out the seeds and discard. This is your cucumber boat! TIP: Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds.
b) In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and the basil flavoured tuna.
a) Fill the middle of your baby cucumbers with your tuna cream cheese mixture, then place 3 tortilla chips into the filling, pointy end up, to create the sails of your boats.
b) Place the boats on your plates, with any remaining tortilla chips on the side.
Enjoy!
