Tortilla Cigars With Yellow Squash And Carrot Recipes

TORTILLA CIGARS (WITH YELLOW SQUASH AND CARROT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chicken or turkey, cheese, squash and carrot purees, cream cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
• Cut the tortillas in half. Place one half on the work surface with the straight edge facing you. Spread about two tablespoons of the filling along that edge from one side to the other. Starting at the edge, roll the tortilla into a cigar shape, completely enclosing the filling. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Stuff and roll the rest of the tortillas the same way.
• Bake until the tortillas begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

SAUTEED YELLOW SQUASH WITH CARROTS AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Set a 12" saute pan over medium-high heat, and once it is hot add the butter and olive oil.
• When the butter has melted, add the carrots and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
• Add the yellow squash, shallot, salt and white pepper to the pan and continue to cook, stirring often, until the squash has wilted and released most of its moisture -- about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the tarragon and toss to blend.
• Serve hot.
