Hi all,

 

My library has an electronic database and I can scan it for recipes from my

home computer (course, I have to do the formatting). Here is one from

Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. Looks yummy.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 ounces asparagus spears

2 medium carrots -- cut into thin strips

8 ounces cream cheese -- softened

1 egg

2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil -- crushed

or 1 tsp. dried basil

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

or feta cheese

8 flour tortillas -- 7- or 8-inch

2 tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

 

In a medium mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, egg, and basil till

smooth. Stir in crumbled cheese. Arrange asparagus and carrots in the

center of tortillas. Spoon 2 rounded tablespoons of cheese mixture on top

of vegetables. Fold the bottom half of the tortilla up and over the

filling, then fold the left and right edges to the center. Fold the top

half over the filling envelope-style.

 

Place the bundles, seam side down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat

the procedure with each of the remaining tortillas and the remaining

filling. Brush each of the packets with milk; sprinkle them with sesame

seeds.

 

Bake in a 425[degrees] oven for 10 to 12 minutes or till heated through

and golden brown. Makes 8 bundles.

NOTES : The cheese of your choice oozes over the crisp-tender vegetables

tucked inside these tortilla pouches. They look like flat-topped

egg rolls, but these Americanized versions are actually

veggie-filled tortilla packets oozing with melted cheese. Try them

out on the brunch crowd or serve them as hearty appetizers.

There's a bonus to these bundles, too: Unlike egg rolls, they're

baked, not deep-fried.
