Author: Karen Biton-Cohen for FoodieKid
Prep Time: 2-5 minutes Cook Time: 3 minutes Total Time: 8 minutes Yields: 3 Servings (6 pinwheels)
For families who prefer meatless meals, it can be challenging to find a quick and easy lunch option for your kids. That’s why we created maybe the quickest sweet potato pesto wrap perfect for a school or daycare lunch. Using Sweet Potatoes from our Root Veggies and Squash Pack, this 5-minute wrap is a colorful and fun twist on the lunch box sandwich featuring this sweet superfood!
Ingredients:
1 pack FoodieKid Root Veggies & Squash Pack
1 large “burrito” size (10 inch) Whole Grain Flour Tortilla
2 tablespoons pesto
Instructions:
Place the FoodieKid pack in the microwave and cook on high for 2-3 minutes, or steam according to package instructions. Cut open the pouch and let it cool slightly. Lay the tortilla down flat on a work surface. Spread the pesto evenly onto the tortilla, leaving a 1 inch border. Sprinkle the steamed/cooled sweet potatoes over the pesto. Roll the tortilla as tightly as possible. Slice off the ends of the roll. To make pinwheels, slice into 3/4 inch slices using a sharp chef’s knife.
Tip: If you want to ensure that the pinwheels stay rolled up, refrigerate the roll before slicing for about 2-3 hours.
