Baby Burrito!

I wanted to share a yummy and healthy (good protein) lunch recipe with you moms out there! Breakfasts and dinners for Davis are a piece of cake. Breakfast usually consists of a waffle and strawberries. Dinner is usually the leftovers from what Forrest and I had the night before. Lunch is a different story. Maybe some moms out there have some tips for me, but I seem to run out of ideas. I came across a burrito recipe in my Cooking for Baby book and I'm so glad I decided to try it! The best part is that I made about 10, wrapped them individually, and put them in the freezer for later. And of course the other plus is that Davis enjoys them!

Ingredients:
Pinto Beans, one 15 oz can
Brown Rice, 3/4 cup cooked
Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 3/4 cup grated
Mild Salsa, 2-3 Tbsp (optional)
Whole Wheat Tortillas (this recipe makes 6, but I was able to make 10...probably bc I don't really follow directions)

How to:
- Rinse beans until water runs clear and drain thoroughly
- Mash beans
- Warm beans over medium heat
- Add rice, cheese, and salsa to beans and mix until well blended
- Divide evenly into tortillas, fold in 2 ends and roll burritos

To store:
Wrap burritos individually in foil, seal in a large freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months

ENJOY!!!!

And even if you're not a baby/toddler, these are really yummy. Forrest kept steeling bites from Davis.

These sound yummy! I will have to try them out for Aubrey. I totally agree, its hard to find different things for lunch. I have the exact same problem!

I'll have to try it as a burrito! We make quesadillas with the same ingredients (black beans instead of pinto though). Lunch is always a challenge:)
