3 A Day Recipe

MOZZARELLA STICKS

Recipe created on behalf of 3-A-Day Dairy

Mozzarella Sticks
Makes: 6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5-6 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (12-ounce) package reduced-fat Mozzarella string cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
8 tablespoons panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce, warmed (optional)

Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Remove cheese from packaging and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk egg until foamy. In small non-stick skillet, mix Italian seasoning with bread crumbs and place over medium heat. Cook and stir bread crumbs until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Dip one piece of string cheese in egg until coated and then into toasted bread crumbs, coating completely. Redip the string cheese in egg and again into the bread crumbs, if desired. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining string cheese and place on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Spray string cheese lightly with cooking spray.

Bake 5-6 minutes or until heated through. (Cheese may melt slightly and loose shape. Simply press it back into place.)

Suggested serving: Pair with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

Southwest Burritos and Taco Dip
by Becky Low
Dairy Council of Utah

Southwest Burritos and Taco Dip Burrito Ingredients
1/2 pound ground beef sirloin or lean ground beef
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chunky salsa, divided
2 cups cooked brown or white rice
6 (9-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1/3 cup sliced green onion, including green tops


Dip Ingredients
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 can (16 oz) spicy fat-free refried beans
1/3 cup chunky medium salsa
1 carton (8 oz) plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt
1 cup finely chopped iceberg lettuce
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1/3 cup sliced green onion, including tops
2 tablespoons chopped black olives


Method:
Prepare burritos by browning ground beef with garlic in a medium non-stick skillet, (break beef mixture up as it cooks). Drain fat from meat and stir in 1/2 cup salsa; set aside.

Spread 1/3 cup cooked rice on center of one tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Scatter 2 tablespoons of black beans and 1 1/2 tablespoons of corn over rice. Spread 1/3 cup of the beef mixture and 1/4 cup of the cheese over corn. Top with 2 teaspoons of the salsa and a few pieces of green onion. Fold in two opposite edges of tortilla one inch each and roll up. Place, seam side down, on microwave safe dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Microwave each burrito 1 minute or until heated through.

Prepare dip by stirring chili powder into refried beans and spreading evenly onto a clear pie dish. Spread yogurt over refried beans; spread 1/3 cup salsa over yogurt, leaving a narrow border around each layer’s edge. Scatter lettuce over yogurt mixture. Sprinkle cheese over lettuce and top with tomato, 1/3 cup sliced green onion, and chopped olives. Dip goes well with tortilla chips or assorted sliced veggies.
