Kid Friendly Recipe of the Week

My boys are getting so big. My oldest just turned 4 last week and he feels he is a big boy now. It is so fun at time to be able to stay home and be with the boys as they are growing up.

What Kid Friendly Recipe do we have this week? Sometimes I have a hard time getting the boys to eat their fruits but the recipe we have for you today should help get those fruits down.

Fruitiritto Burrito

Ingredients:

tortilla shells
Creamy peanut butter
Banana
Strawberries
Fresh Peaches, pitted and sliced
Vanilla yogurt

Instructions:

Slice up fruit to get ready to fill tortillas. Amount of ingredients will vary depending on the number of people being served. Slice only what is needed so that none gets wasted. Spread approximately 1 tbsp of peanut butter onto each tortilla.

*TIP: warming tortillas in the microwave (with a little cup of water) makes this step much easier!

Add sliced bananas, strawberries, and peaches to each tortilla.
Drizzle a small amount of yogurt over the fruit. Fold sides over and roll up tortilla. Peanut butter will help hold fruit in place.
For eating with a fork, drizzle yogurt over top of the rolled up
tortilla instead of inside it. Cut tortilla into chunks. Vary the fruit by season, or add favorites to the mix for different tastes.

My boys love peanut - so this recipe is an easy push for me, but if you have allergies you might try a small amount of honey butter or jelly instead.
