Preparation

What You Need

4 large whole wheat flour tortillas
2 tsp (10 ml) butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup (125 ml) beef broth
1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) Milk
12 oz (375 g) frozen cooked meatballs (about 24)
1 cup (250 ml) corn kernels (frozen or drained canned)
1 cup (250 ml) pasta sauce or
1/2 cup (125 ml) ketchup
1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded Canadian Mozzarella or
Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Warm tortillas according to package directions.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; sauté garlic and carrot, stirring, for about 2 min or until softened. Add beef broth. Whisk flour into milk and gradually stir into skillet; cook, stirring often, for about 2 min or until bubbling and thickened. Add meatballs and corn; gradually stir in pasta sauce. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 10 min or until meatballs are heated through and sauce is thick.

Spoon meatballs and sauce along centre of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold up bottom of tortilla, then fold in sides to enclose filling.


Tips

Cooking Tip: Be sure to buy prepared meatballs that aren't deep-fried. You can even use frozen cooked homemade meatballs, just make sure they are about 1-inch (2 1/2 cm) in size.

For the Adventurous: Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) chipotle barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup (125 mL) roasted red pepper strips with pasta sauce. Use Canadian Asiago cheese.

Healthy Eating Tip: This recipe is a great source of vitamin B12 and iron, two important nutrients for growing minds! What a great way to start off another school year.
