Tortilla “Cigars”
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sautéed or roasted chicken or turkey, cubed or pureed
- ½ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar or American cheese
- ½ cup yellow squash puree
- ½ cup carrot puree
- 4 ounces reduced fat or non-fat cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 large(burrito size) whole wheat tortillas or brown rice wraps
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the chicken or turkey, cheese, squash and carrot purees, cream cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
- Cut the tortillas in half. Place one half on the work surface with the straight edge facing you. Spread about 2 tbsp of the filling along that edge from one side to the other. Starting at the edge, roll the tortilla into a cigar shape, completely enclosing the filling. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Stuff and roll the rest of the tortillas the same way.
- Bake until the tortillas begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
