Tzatziki
This is a great side dish that can be eaten with tortillas in a combo dish like Combo burritos to add variety and spice. This is similar to Indian yogurt cooler dish called Raita but this has sour cream to substitute yogurt and hence is low in protein.

| 1 tbs mint finely chopped | 2 tbs sour cream |
| 1 clove garlic finely minced | 1 tbs olive oil |
| 1/4 tsp or less salt ( to your preference) | 1 tsp or less ground black pepper or red pepper flakes, optional |
| 1 tsp lemon or lime juice |
Mix together grated cucumber, chopped mint, garlic in a bowl. Beat the lemon or lime juice, mocha mix, olive oil and the sour cream together until well blended.
