Summary: A sweet and tangy wrap ideal for kid’s lunchboxes
We all know what a sweet tooth kids have, so how can we exploit this sweeth tooth of theirs in a blatant attempt to get them to eat more fruit and veg? This fruity veggie wrap is sweet and zesty, full of flavour and perfect for summertime! The secret ingredient is honey but the other flavours combine to compliment the sweetness of the honey with the tangyness of the fruit and the fresh clean taste of crisp salad.
As well as being popular with both of mine (although I have remove any green bits for Arthur!) this recipe is also a hit with my husband and I’ve even found myself making one too many, so that I am compelled to eat the surplus!
Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients – many can be substituted and some are optional so just work with what you have. On the plus side, once you have your ingredients ready, making it couldn’t be simpler!
Ingredients
- 1 soft tortilla wrap
- 1 splash soy sauce
- 1 splash lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honeyÂ
- grated zest of 1 small orange
- 1 small carrot grated
- 1 tablespoon cucumber cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon chopped mango
- 1 sliced radish
- 1 spring onion finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon of chopped mint
- a handful of rocket
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey and orange zest.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly making sure that they are all coated.
- Now spread the mixture onto the tortilla leaving around 2 inches on either side.
- Roll the tortilla away from you and press down firmly. (You may need a little butter to seal the edge.)Â
Quick Notes
To stop your filling falling out of your wraps, tuck in the edges as you roll it to keep ingredients firmly inside.
Variations
Instead of mango you could use pineapple, apricots or dried fruit such as sultanas. Try coriander instead of mint for a milder taste.
