Whether you need a school lunchbox idea, an after-school snack, or even a light dinner, these veggie wraps are a delicious way to sneak more vegetables into your child’s diet.

🥘 Ingredients (Makes 6 mini wraps)

  • 3 whole wheat tortillas (cut in half for mini wraps)
  • ½ cup hummus (or cream cheese / yogurt spread)
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup cucumber slices (thinly sliced or julienned)
  • ½ cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green, thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ cup grated cheese (optional)
  • A pinch of salt & pepper
  • Toothpicks (optional, to hold wraps)

🔪 Instructions

  1. Prepare tortillas

    • Warm the tortillas slightly so they’re soft and easy to roll.

  2. Spread the filling

    • Spread a layer of hummus or cream cheese evenly on each tortilla half.

  3. Add veggies

    • Place carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, and lettuce on top.
    • Sprinkle with cheese if desired.

  4. Roll & secure

    • Roll each tortilla tightly into a mini wrap.
    • Secure with a toothpick if packing in a lunchbox.

  5. Serve or pack

    • Cut into halves or bite-sized pinwheels for kids.
    • Serve fresh or pack into lunchboxes with fruit and snacks.

🌟 Tips for Perfect Mini Veggie Wraps

  • Use colorful veggies to make the wraps visually appealing for kids.
  • Add a protein option like grilled chicken strips, turkey slices, or boiled eggs for a more filling wrap.
  • To prevent sogginess, place lettuce as the first layer before adding wet veggies like cucumbers or tomatoes.
  • Wrap in foil or parchment paper to keep them fresh in lunchboxes.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with fruit slices (apples, grapes, or orange wedges).
  • Add a small snack like nuts or granola bars.
  • Serve as an after-school snack with yogurt dip.
  • Great for picnics and travel meals too.
