  1. To make the crepe batter, combine the Large eggs, lowfat milk, 2 Tbsp. melted butter, and 1/3 c. of water in a blender or possibly food processor, and process till smooth. Add in the flours, cornmeal, 1/2 tsp. salt, and chili pwdr, and process again. Chill for at least 1 hour or possibly as long as overnight.
  2. Let the batter return to room temperature, and stir it well.
  3. Heat a little butter in a heavy, 10-inch skillet over medium heat, and spread it over the bottom. Pour in about 1/4 c. of batter, and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the batter so it covers the bottom.
  4. Cook the crepe till lightly golden brown, 1 to 2 min. Flip it with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Repeat till all the crepes are cooked, adding a little butter to the pan between each one. Stack the cooked crepes, and set them aside.
  5. To make the filling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute/fry the onion, garlic, jalapeno, red pepper, and carrot till tender, about 5 min. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the beans, tomato, corn, 1 tsp. salt, cumin, cilantro, and the three thinly sliced scallions.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and grease two baking sheets.
  7. Lay out the crepes on a work surface. Divide the filling among them
  8. (about 1/2 c. for each), placing it on one quarter of the crepe. Sprinkle on the cheeses. Fold the crepes in half and half again to create a pie-shaped wedge.
  9. Transfer the crepes to the prepared baking sheets, and bake for 10 to 15 min, till the cheese is melted and the crepe is lightly golden brown.
  10. Serve garnished with lowfat sour cream and thinly sliced scallions.
