Preparation:

    Step 1
  • In a food processor, pulse the beans, 4 sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, granulated garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until semi-smooth.

    Thinly slice the remaining 2 sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss them in a medium bowl with the lightly mashed tuna, olives, roasted red pepper, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Step 2
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush one side of the tortillas with oil, place them oiled side down, and cook until they are charred where they meet, about 1 minute. Transfer them, browned side up, to serving plates.

    Spoon some of the bean mixture onto each pita and top with some of the tuna salad. Drizzle each with oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
