Well, actually this was our lunch because the kids are pretty small, but I am thinking it would make a perfect after school snack for older kids. And I will be the first to admit that this is probably not the most "authentic" of Mexican foods, but it is kid-friendly and fun to make.
Ingredients:
- taco-sized soft tortilla(s)
- string cheese stick(s)
- vegetable oil
Other Materials:
- microwave
- paper towel
- oven
- cookie sheet
- small bowl for oil
- basting brush
- pot holder
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. *Note*: Oven should only be used by an adult.
- Soften tortillas in the microwave. Lay a paper towel inside of your microwave and add as many tortillas as you would like to cook. Add a layer of paper towel over the top and microwave about 10-15 seconds.
- Pour a small amount of vegetable (or similar) oil into a small bowl (approximately 1-2 teaspoons.) Using a basting brush, coat one side of a tortilla. Place tortilla oil-side down on a cookie sheet. *Note* Kids can help with this step.
- Unwrap and add one string cheese stick. Place string cheese toward one side of the tortilla and then roll the tortilla as tightly as possible. *Note* Kids can help with this step.
- Set rolled tortilla so that the overlapping edge is facing down. Repeat steps with additional tortillas as desired.
- Bake about 5 minutes for a slightly soft tortilla, longer if you like yours crispier. The cheese will be softened but not so melted as to ooze out of the tortilla.
- Enjoy your Cinco de Mayo Cheese Roll-Up on May 5th or any time you want a healthy snack.
