Posted by Dustin Horton // April 3, 2013 // 3 Every Day, Articles
Do you ever have a long day of work and you have to come home to a hungry family and cannot think of something to make? Hi, I am Hannah Baker, the Tompkins County Dairy Princess. Growing up on a dairy farm there are many nights we all don’t get in from the barn until late and of course we are hungry! The easiest solution is to get fast food but it never tastes that good. And of course you are not getting your three every day servings of dairy at some a fast food joint. Here is a great recipe that helps get you a part of your needed dairy for the day and also is quick and delicious!

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.
