Meal Idea for Kids: Cinco de Mayo Mini Beany Cheese-tada!
Celebrar la Victoria! Today marks the 152nd anniversary of Cinco De Mayo and we’re sharing a tasty meal idea for kids to help celebrate! Here’s more from our friends at Super Healthy Kids:
Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with Mexican Inspired Food! One go-to website that always has amazing ideas for healthy celebrations is ProduceForKids.org. They were the inspiration for a delicious fruit cake I posted way back. Today, they are the inspiration for our mini Beany Cheese-tada’s! We made them mini, simply by cutting our corn tortillas in small circles.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium (6-inch) corn tortillas
- ½ cup mashed pinto beans (drain if using canned)
- 2 oz. grated Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup shredded Romaine lettuce
- ½ cup grape tomatoes, cut in halves
Directions:
Toast tortilla shells to desired crispiness. Spread heated mashed beans equally on top of the tortillas. Spread half of lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and salsa on each.
