Final Project

In one of the classes, Food Science, we had to turn an unhealthy recipe, turn it healthy in every possible way, and have friends like the healthy one better than the original fatty recipe.

AND I DID IT! I took this cheese smothered burrito and made it into this:

"SMOTHERED IN VEGGIE BURRITOS"

1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1/2 red onion
1-2 large cucumbers
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3-4 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro
Juice from 1 large lime

1 small Jalapeno
2 tsp Garlic
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme

100% Whole Wheat Tortillas
Low fat feta cheese *** optional

Drain, rinse off, and place beans in medium mixing bowl. Chop the onion, cilantro and slice the tomatoes in half, mix with the beans along with half of the lime's juice.

In small sauce pan sauté peppers, garlic and rest of lime juice over low/med heat until peppers are soft, and allow to cool a little. Place cheese and herbs in a food processor, or with a blender, add the cooked peppers and garlic and blend until very smooth, add more lime juice if needed.

Scoop out a cup or so of the bean mixture into a tortilla, sprinkle some feta on and drizzle sauce over, or roll into a burrito and drizzle sauce over.
