Turkey and Veggie Pinwheels for Kids' Lunch Boxes
Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 4 oz (about 8 slices) lean deli turkey
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation:
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Start by laying out each whole wheat tortilla and spreading a thin layer of softened cream cheese evenly across the surface.
- Add Nutritious Layers: Top the cream cheese with lean turkey slices, followed by shredded carrots, fresh baby spinach leaves, sliced cucumbers, and shredded cheddar cheese for a delicious and nutritious combination.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight log shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels, perfect for little hands.
- Pack the Lunch Box: Arrange the pinwheels in your child's lunch box. For a balanced meal, add some fresh fruit, a yogurt cup, or a healthy snack.
