Skewers for eating corn on the cob.

Want a delicious lunch or dinner idea that’s easy to make and fun to eat?

Fill a whole wheat tortilla wrap!

Use shrimp, tuna or chicken salad and add lettuce, tomato, sprouts, mashed avocado to increase the nutritional benefits.

Do you have creative ideas for filling the tortilla wrap?

You can pair the wrap with corn on the cob or oven fries and your family will think that summer is already here.

Young children love to participate in the kitchen.  Why not invite them to mix the salad ingredients and sprinkle on the sprouts?  Talk about which foods grow and which foods come from animal sources.  While you take care of the corn or oven fries, your children can be creating colorful placemats using construction paper and crayons.

  1. Great idea! We love making wraps and burritos by putting all the ingredients out and letting people pick and choose.

    For bean burritos, I put out chopped lettuce, tomato, celery, carrots, black olives, blanched broccoli, refried beans, cheese, sour cream, rice, and salsa.

  2. I like anything in a tortilla. I had a dessert tortilla once filled with fruit and topped with chocolate.
    Thank you so much for the awesome grand prize craft kit. I can’t wait to do crafts with the kids!

      And I love anything with chocolate…so that sounds like the perfect dessert…healthy also because of the fruit inside and you could use the dark chocolate that docs are now saying is good for us. 🙂
      I’d love to hear about some of the crafts you’ll do with the little people in your family.
