Ingredients
3 dry lasagne sheets
2 tbsp canola oil
800g lean beef mince
3 carrots, grated
1 large zucchini, grated
140g tomato paste
1 x 700g bottle of Italian passata
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
300g low-fat cottage cheese
120g shredded light Mozzarella
12 tortilla wraps
Method
- Break lasagne sheets into strips, add to boiling water and cook until soft.
- In a large pan, heat oil then brown the beef mince with the carrot and zucchini. Add 1 tsp each of the onion and garlic powder and cook until fragrant.
- Stir through the tomato paste and fry off, then add the passata and simmer. Allow to cool.

- To assemble the burritos, lay out the tortillas, spoon on a layer of the mince, then a little cottage cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and top with 2-3 cooked lasagne strips. Add another layer of mince, then roll the burrito and sprinkle a little more cheese on top.
- Bake at 180°C for around 15 minutes.
