As part of our Design and Technology learning this half term, we’ve been exploring food and nutrition by making our own healthy wraps. Before we started, we talked about the importance of choosing a balanced selection of ingredients, including protein and vegetables.
We carefully prepared our fillings, safely cutting cucumber with the claw grip. We then spread cream cheese onto our tortilla wraps, chose our favourite fillings and rolled them up tightly. It was great fun tasting our finished wraps.
Help at home by making a healthy wrap together. Encourage your child to choose a variety of vegetables and a source of protein.
Here’s the recipe we followed at school:
Ingredients
tortilla wraps (one wrap between two children)
something sticky to hold it together (such as hummus or cream cheese)
protein rich fillings (such as grated cheese, tuna or turkey)
other fillings such as peppers (snipped); cucumber (claw); lettuce (snipped)
Method
- Lay out the tortilla wraps.
- Prepare the fillings.
- Spread with the cream cheese or hummus.
- Select and add the fillings.
- Start at one side, roll up very tightly.
- Cut the rolled wrap in half.
