Supper to Go

Tonight we are loading up the kids and going to the drive-in to see a movie. Of course there will be all the traditional junk food, popcorn, nachos, lots of candy. So before we go I am going to feed the kids (and adults of course) something at least reasonably nutritious.

Start with the biggest tortillas you can find, fill them with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, cheese, ham, turkey and bacon bits, drizzle with your favorite salad dressing and roll up like a burrito and enjoy. The kids even like to sprinkle potato chips or pretzel stick on these.

It is easiest to build the on a warm skillet, cheese and meat first. That way you don't have to heat all your veggies to get the tortilla to roll up. If you want to take these to the drive in with you, when you get them rolled up, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and drop into a zipper bag. On top of the cooks in your cooler these will stay fresh and crisp till you are ready for them.

Then, you don't have to feel so bad about all the junk you know they will eat at the movies because they had all their veggies first. Enjoy the show.
