The history of stuffed rolls goes back in time, but it is known that filling bread with various ingredients is a traditional practice in many cultures. These stuffed rolls with tuna and corn combine rich flavors and varied textures, and each bite is a true feast for the taste buds.

Here’s how to prepare these stuffed rolls step by step!

Necessary ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat rolls with sesame (you can also use regular rolls, but whole wheat is healthier)
- 160 g tuna in olive oil (choose quality tuna for better taste)
- 140 g sweet corn (can be canned or boiled)
- 50 g black olives (pitted, to avoid unpleasant surprises)
- 4 pickles (adds a touch of freshness to the dish)
- 3-4 slices of cheese (ideally Provolone, but you can experiment with other types)
- Salt to taste

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Carefully hollow out the rolls, being careful not to break them. They will become the perfect containers for the delicious filling.

Step 2: Mixing the filling
In a bowl, place the tuna along with the olive oil from the can. Tuna provides a significant amount of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it an excellent choice for a healthy meal. Add the well-drained sweet corn, which adds a touch of sweetness and crunchy texture, and the black olives, which add intense flavor.

Step 3: The pickles
Cut off the ends of the pickles and slice them lengthwise in half, then chop them. Add them to the bowl with the previous mixture and sprinkle a little salt to enhance the flavors. Mix all the ingredients well so they blend perfectly.

Step 4: Filling the rolls
Fill each roll with the tuna, corn, and olive mixture. Make sure to fill them well, but without overstuffing, to prevent them from breaking.

Step 5: Adding the cheese
Cut the cheese slices into strips and place them on top of each roll. The cheese will melt beautifully in the oven, providing a creamy and savory layer.

Step 6: Baking the rolls
Place the stuffed rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and place the tray in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden and the rolls become slightly crispy.

Step 7: Serving
The stuffed rolls with tuna and corn are served warm, both as a main meal and as a snack. You can accompany these rolls with a fresh salad or yogurt or tzatziki sauces, which add a touch of freshness.

Useful tips:
- If you want a vegetarian version, you can replace the tuna with feta cheese or roasted vegetables.
- If you prefer a spicy note, you can add a few slices of chili pepper to the filling mixture.
- Don’t forget to experiment with different types of cheese to customize your rolls to your taste.
