MEXICAN ZUCCHINI AND CORN BURRITO



Mexican Zucchini and Corn Burrito image

A most refreshing low-cal burrito. BF found this on an Australian website, and he changed it a bit and stuffed it into a tortilla. Not a burrito you want to eat with your hands, but really, really good. We used the low-fat substitutions. The filling alone makes a terrific side dish.
