Cook With Zona
May is the perfect time to get into the kitchen. The farmers’ markets are full of bright, fresh produce, and with the end of the school year just around the corner, there is plenty to celebrate. These two recipes are simple, colorful and delicious. They make a great lunchbox, a lovely Mother’s Day surprise, or just a fun Saturday afternoon project. Read through the recipe first, wash your hands, and let’s get cooking. Rainbow Pinwheel Wraps
Instructions: 1. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. 2. Spread the cream cheese or hummus evenly across the whole tortilla. 3. Layer the vegetables across the middle. 4. Roll the tortilla up tightly from one end. 5. Ask a grown-up to slice the roll into rounds about an inch thick. 6. Arrange them cut-side up in your lunchbox so the rainbow shows! Tip: Press the roll firmly before slicing so the pinwheels hold their shape.
