Make My Meal Monday



Spicy Bean Roll Ups

I've been in love with little lavash sandwiches forever. I never thought they were easy to make until about a year ago. Seriously easy!!! I went to a Ball Canning House Party last night and needed something to bring, so I went on a search for a recipe. I didnt find one I loved, so I made this instead!!

Here's what you need
3/4 c Shredded cheese
1 tub Philly cooking cream Sante Fe Blend
1 pkg tortillas (the large ones work best)
1 can on black beans



1. Mix cheese and cooking cream together in a bowl.













2. Drain and puree beans in food processor.












3.  Lay out saran wrap under a tortilla. put a light layer of beans on the tortilla











4. Then add a layer of the cheese spread. Leave a little room at the end.

Repeat this until all the mixture is gone. Mine made about 6 tortillas worth!







5. Roll the tortilla long ways to create a roll up.











6. Wrap up in the saran wrap. Refrigerate for 30 mins or more.Can be made ahead of time.











7. Remove roll up from saran wrap and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve!












Super easy! They look cute,and they are pretty cheap.Most importantly,  I thought they were pretty tasty!!

Thoughtful Thursday

So, I know I've been on a bit of a food kick lately, but if you havent watched it yet, you dont know why I'm nuts! (Food Inc that is). If you dont want to watch it, there are a few other sites I've started using to help me.  If you dont want to do the whole organic stuff because you dont care or whatever, can I ask you to try Meatless Monday. (or any day really, just one meatless day a week) Going meatless one day a week not only reduces your carbon footprint(how much you affect the environment) as well as improves your health risk for chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Why wouldn't you want to help out yourself and the environment? Its really not that difficult and the best perk...ITS CHEAPER!!! No meat= no big cost! You can check out Meatless Monday for more information and some cool recipes! Remember alot of food you make now, you could make meatless! Spagetti, alfredo, stuffed peppers, chili, I could go on! Whose with me? Comment below to let me know I'm not alone in my Meatless day a week!
