Directions

1

{"0":"Place all of the filling ingredients into a large, plastic, sealable container and shake well. Taste and add optional filling ingredients if desired. (Note the peanut warning above.) Filling is so flavorful that additional salt is not recommended. Refrigerate overnight.","2":"In the morning, use a slotted spoon to drain enough filling for one tortilla. (Drain well.) Place the filling in a long strip down the center of the tortilla, leaving approximately 1-2 inches at the bottom and at the top. Fold the tortilla tightly around the filling in the traditional burrito style (bottom, left, top, and right). Wrap the burrito in foil and your child can simply peel the foil away as she\/he eats, preventing the burrito from falling apart and making clean-up easy. Pack in lunch box with a cold pack.","4":"A single burrito, along with a cartoon of milk or bottle of calcium-fortified orange juice, is a complete meal."}
