School Lunch Idea: How to Make Pinwheels

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

deli meats

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is a cost-effective protein option.

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without the fat.

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: pita bread

Pita bread can be cheaper and still hold fillings.

Spread a little mayonnaise and mustard on the flour tortilla.

Layer ham and shredded Monterey jack cheese on top of the mayonnaise and mustard.

Roll the tortilla from one end to the next to shape it into pinwheels.

Cut the rolled tortilla in half to create two halves.

Cut each half into half-inch thick pieces to form pinwheels.

Arrange the pinwheels in a lunchbox with some veggies and fresh fruit.
