Tortilla Surprise

Ingredients:

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 8-ounce package of low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (dry) ranch-dressing seasoning mix
  • ½ cup of cooked, finely diced lean meat (such as chicken, turkey, or ham)
  • ½ cup finely diced celery or tomatoes (or both)
  • Salsa (optional)

In a mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese and the dressing mix. Then add the meat and the vegetables and mix well. Spread half of the mixture on one of the tortillas, spreading it evenly to the edges of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, and press the edges together with your fingers. Cut the folded tortilla into four wedges. Repeat the process with the next tortilla and the remaining cream-cheese mixture. Serve your Tortilla Surprise plain or with salsa for dipping. Store any left-over pieces in the refrigerator.

Options: You could make this recipe without meat. You could also add other finely chopped vegetables such as peppers, onions, broccoli, or carrots. Have fun experimenting with different fillings to find the combination you like best! You could also try grilling the filled tortilla in a skillet over medium heat until it’s golden brown.
