Tortillas keep for a very long time so I always have some on hand. If we were to ever run out, I know how to make my own and I have the ingredients as part of my meal plan. I'll do a blog post on making tortillas another time. Today I want to share a quick and easy storable lunch or snack idea.
Cream cheese is another ingredient that will store at least 3 months in the refrigerator. I buy enough when I see them for $.98 each to get me through at least 3 months.
Spread a little cream cheese on a tortilla. The kids love the strawberry cream cheese. Sometimes I add rehydrated onions or green peppers to some softened regular cream cheese before spreading it. Chives are a tasty addition also, but plain cream cheese is great too. For a sandwich, we spread plain cream cheese and add slices of lunch meat and cheese before rolling. It adds great variety to a picnic or school lunch. Tortillas give you limitless options!
Roll up the tortilla.
For snacks, slice in 1-inch pieces. For sandwiches, I usually just cut in half.
Dip the plain or onion cream cheese rolls in salsa for an extra tasty treat.
Love it! This will be our picnic dinner today :-)
