Ingredients

4 9-inch “ready-to-use” crêpes
2 cups chopped cucumber
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 cup green beans, chopped
1/2 cup fresh jicama, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Zest from 1 lime
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tsp lime juice
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small bowl until combined, and set aside.
Combine cucumber, green beans, jicama, corn, and onion. Stir in ricotta, lime zest, the remaining 1/4 cup chives, cilantro, garlic, and the salt and pepper.
To roll crêpes, place one on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or leave it on the piece of plastic separating the crêpes in the package). Spoon one-fourth of the vegetable-cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) down the center of the crêpe. Use the paper (or plastic) to help you gently roll the crêpe around the filling. Place the crêpe seam-side down on serving plate. Repeat with the remaining crêpes and filling.
Serve each crêpe topped with 2 tablespoons of the reserved sauce and more chives, if desired.
