Low- fat Burritos
1 packet specialty rice mix (e.g., Lipton's "Rice & Sauce"), any flavor (chicken is good)
1 16 oz. can non-fat refried beans
1 C. low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 11 oz. can corn
3 large flour tortillas or 6 small ones, preferably a low or non-fat variety
Directions:
Cook the rice according to the directions on the package, but without adding the butter or margarine called for in the directions. (It tastes fine without all that fat - honestly!) While rice is cooking, place beans in a small pot and heat. When rice is done, mix with corn. Lay out tortillas and divide rice equally among them, placing it along the center of each tortilla. Divide refried beans equally among them, putting it on top of rice. Divide mozzarella equally and put it on top of beans. Fold ends of the tortillas over the mixture, then fold the sizes over to form a packet. Turn the burrito over so that the edges of the tortilla are on the bottom. Cut a slice out of the center of one of the burritos and serve it to your rat. For human consumption, place burrito on a microwave-safe plate, cover with desired amount of salsa and microwave on high for two minutes. One large burrito serves one person and one rat.
Note: Extra burritos keep for up to two days in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap, or can be frozen. Reheat in the microwave for about 2 minutes 30 seconds on high. (Before serving to rat, check to make sure beans are not too hot.)
