Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup / 125 ml ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon / 15 ml honey
• 1/8 teaspoon / .5 ml finely grated lemon peel (wash lemon first)
• 1/4 teaspoon / 60 ml dried fruit and nut mixture of choice
• 1 average sized tortilla, preferably wholewheat
• cinnamon to taste

1. Mix the ricotta, honey and lemon peel.
2. Pour the fruit and nut mixture into a small bag and seal. Using the flat side of the blade of a knife, crush the nuts in the mixture (if you can separate just the nuts and do this, it is a little easier but it is not necessary).
3. Add the fruit and nut mixture to the ricotta. Mix together.
4. Spread the mixture on a tortilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
5. Roll up the tortilla. Cut in two and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• This tastes great both fresh or heated. If you'd like to heat it, add it to the microwave for 30 seconds. Mmmmm!
• Take care using the knife to crush the nuts.
• Always wash the lemon peel before grating.
