Kym Turner (DETE): The next two recipes that we have to do for you today are the Mexican
burrito and the pizza slab. So Kellie I might start on the burrito if you want to talk about
putting together the ingredients for the burrito.
Kellie Hogan (Nutrition Australia): So instead of using typical taco sachet mix as I mentioned
earlier, what weíre going to use are the traditional Mexican spices to make this savoury
mince recipe Mexican. So as Kym is putting the savoury mince in there, weíve got some
paprika, cumin and some coriander. Thatís going to save us a little bit of effort there
as well to use those. Weíre also going to add in some kidney beans, so kidney beans
as I mentioned does two things ñ they add fibre and also bulk out the mince. So thatís
going to make your mince go further and therefore be more of an economical choice for you. Obviously
youíd be cooking this off if it was at your tuckshop or canteen. As I mentioned earlier
the great thing about a burrito, is that a wrap gives you an opportunity to add green
items, being lettuce, tomato and those types of items. The other thing Iíve noticed that
Kym has picked up with the ingredients today is that she is using a wholegrain wrap and
certainly the wholegrain and wholemeal wraps look very similar to the traditional white
ones. So theyíre all considered a green product but itís one of those opportunities where
most kids wouldnít necessarily know whether youíve got the wholemeal version or the white
version. So itís an opportunity to up the fibre intake a little bit, as is the intent
of Smart Choices and make that item higher in fibre as well.
Kym Turner (DETE): So weíre going to take our burrito, which Kellie just said is the
wholemeal wrap and put in our filling and what Iím going to do with this one today
is weíre going to add some of our salads. So weíre going to add some lettuce, tomato
and cheese. So obviously with Mexican you may also want to add some onion or some avocado.
There are plenty of options but the best thing is, as Kellie said, weíre putting in our
extra salads. So Iíve also got here some reduced fat cheese.
Kellie Hogan (Nutrition Australia): Something we mentioned earlier and certainly you could
use it in your jacket potato is the use of the extra light sour cream which reduces the
saturated fat. Another thing you can also use in place of sour cream in a recipe is
low fat natural yoghurt which works really well.
Kym Turner (DETE): Then weíve got our burrito wrapped up. If youíre going to pre-prepare
that for your tuckshop there are many different ways you might want to do that. If you want
to something and youíre really keen on the presentation you might want to do something
like weíve done with a coloured serviette, some wrapping paper and perhaps some coloured
string. As I said, this is something you might want to do when youíre doing something perhaps
for a function, so not necessarily every day but certainly something you might want to
do if youíre preparing a platter of food for a function. So thatís the burrito. Next
weíll do the pizza.
Kellie Hogan (Nutrition Australia): Weíre going to do a MexicanÖ no not a Mexican pizza,
although you could do a Mexican pizza. What weíre going to be doing is a meatloverís
pizza. Kym is going to be using the pita bread here but you could also use the slabs of pizza
base where you can make a big lot all at once. We know that there are some schools that use
day old hamburger buns to make mini pizzas out of those. Thereís a whole range of ways
that you can do the bases. I know that Kym has managed to source a reduced salt tomato
paste which is another way of lowering the sodium content. I know when Chris was talking
about her time at the Samford tuckshop, I know that they made their tomato base sauce
as aÖ they made it on-site so they made that in advance.
Kym Turner (DETE): So weíve just simply got our tomato base, putting our savoury mince
on top and then thereís a whole range of toppings that we might like to do. For this
one today weíre going to add some capsicum, always has a nice bright colour to it, weíll
add some onion and then some grated reduced fat cheese.
Kellie Hogan (Nutrition Australia): Itís probably easy just to use across all your
recipes reduced fat cheese so that you only need to get one type of cheese into your tuckshop
or canteen.
Kym Turner (DETE): So there we have it ñ your four recipes. As we said itís a tuckshop
test pot so itís an activity that highlights for you how you can get a small amount of
ingredients in a small amount of time and come up with four very healthy and tasty products.
