Directions

Burritos ("little burros") are a very common use of flour tortillas.

Here the bundles are stuffed with garlicky, tender vegetables and served with a rich pumpkin seed sauce.

Prepare Pumpkin Seed Sauce (See RECIPE). Reserve. Cook broccoli, onion and garlic in oil in 10-inch skillet, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except tortillas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Keep warm. Spoon about ½ cup vegetable mixture onto center of each tortilla. Fold one end of tortilla up about 1 inch over mixture. Fold right and left sides over folded end, overlapping. Fold remaining end down. Serve with Pumpkin Seed Sauce.
