ALMOND ZUCCHINI BURRITOS
This recipe won the California Almond Growers Cooking Contest grand prize many years ago. I've made it many times with some slight modifications and it's always a hit; even the meat eaters like it. And, during the summer months it's another way to use up all that excess zucchini!

Steps:
- Wrap tortillas in foil; bake at 375°F 10-15 minutes or until soft and heated through.

- Reduce heat to low, add water and salsa, cover and cook for three minutes.
- Stir in almonds (remember to reserve 3 tbsp for garnish).
- Remove from heat.
- Spoon 1/2 cup vegetable mixture down center of each tortilla.
- Divide cheese into sixths and sprinkle on top of vegetable mixture.
- Roll up tortillas (fold one end in towards vegetable/cheese mixture, then roll).
- Place burritos on serving dish and spoon 1 tbsp sour cream and 1 tbsp salsa down length of each burrito.
