Steak & Rice Wraps ~ The Kids Cook Monday

 

"Start your week off right: make Monday family night!

The Kids Cook Monday is a weekly opportunity for families to take health into their own hands. The Kids Cook Monday provides examples of kid friendly recipes and video demonstrations along with nutrition and safety tips – making it easy for families to cook and eat together every Monday.

When kids pitch in making meals, they’re empowered to consider the portions, the vitamins and the nutrients of what they’re eating. And since the family that cooks together eats together, parents can check in with their children during dinner." ~ The Kids Cook Monday's ~ Take the Challenge!

3. Cook brown rice according to the package for desired servings of tortillas; 2 servings should be plenty.

5. Place 1 heaping TBSP of rice onto each tortilla, a little bit of each vegetable (cooked carrots, cucumber and lettuce) and steak strips. Poor 2 TBSP of sauce mix over the tortilla ingredients, roll like a burrito and serve. ~ Kids can help

These are a great tasting, healthy alternative that your kids will love for dinner and they can even help you make them. Mix it up with other additions like red pepper, mushrooms or whatever your family likes.

Tip: Don't overstuff the tortillas or they won't roll well.
