- 1 whole wheat tortilla (fajita size)
- ¼ cup hummus
- 1-2 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- ¼ cup vegetables (thinly sliced, such as bell pepper, lettuce, or carrot; optional)
Place the tortilla on a clean work surface or cutting board. If it's not at room temperature, warm it on a heat-safe plate in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Spread on the hummus to about ¼-inch away from the outer edge.
Add the cheese and veggies, if using, layered on one side.
Working from the side of the tortilla with the fillings, tightly roll it up. Slice it in half or into rounds using a serrated knife.
- This is best made on the day you plan to serve it. Keep cool in a lunchbox with an ice pack or in the fridge as needed.
- Use homemade hummus or store-bought.
- Do your best with portions and include a mix of food groups to help the kids stay full until their next chance to eat.
- Pack the food in a lunchbox in an insulated bag with an ice pack to keep it safe and cool until lunchtime.
- Add milk or a water bottle as needed.
- Adjust any of these for allergies and include Peanut-Free Snacks as needed.
