Cheesy Crab Spring Rolls

 Cheesy Crab Spring Rolls-appetizer
prep to enjoy time: 30 minutes
makes 3 servings (1 wrap per serving)
calories per serving: 115   fat grams per serving: 1

Ingredients:
10 baby carrots chopped
2 wedges garlic herb Happy Farm cheese (Aldi) (probably similar to Laughing Cow)
1/2 cup imitation crab 1
 tbs red onion chopped
fresh squeezed juice from 1/2 lime
fresh cilantro
3 rice paper wraps (I get these at an Asian Supermarket)

Preparation:

Crab filling preparation: combine all ingredients except rice paper and put into fridge to marinate for 25 minutes.    Wait to prepare wrappers until you are ready to fill.
To prepare spring roll wrappers: fill a shallow container (I usually just use a plate) with warm, almost hot water. Submerge wrapper (one at a time) into water until soft, usually 10-20 seconds.  Lift carefully (these have a tendency to rip easily) and let excess water run off. Place on a clean dry plate.  Immediately place 1/3rd of filling on the edge of the wrap and roll up like a burrito. This can take some practice if you are new to using rice paper. If you do happen to get a hole or tear in wrapper, start with the torn side and cover with excess wrapper paper.
After all 3 wraps are prepared cut in half and enjoy.
