How to Make a Fun and Healthy Snack for Kids

Your kids are hungry, and they need a quick, nutritious, and delicious snack. Try the following recipe for a snack your kids are sure to ask for again and again. You might even enjoy it, too.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Whole wheat, soft tortilla shells (burrito size)
• low-fat ranch dressing
• shredded mozzarella cheese
• chopped vegetables such as carrots or broccoli (any vegetable that your child likes will work)

1. Place the tortilla shell open on a microwave-safe plate.

2. Pour Ranch dressing on one side of the tortilla shell. Spread it evenly with a butter knife.

3. Sprinkle chopped vegetables onto the Ranch dressing. You can use any vegetables you want.

4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables and Ranch dressing.

5. Fold the tortilla shell over the ingredients to make a pocket with the vegetables, dressing, and cheese inside.

6. Put in the microwave for one minute or until cheese is melted.

7. Cut into wedges and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Chop the vegetables into tiny pieces. Tiny vegetables are not so hard after cooking in the microwave for a short period of time.
