Instructions
For the Shamrock Sandwiches:
- In a food processor, combine whipped cream cheese, fresh baby spinach, lime juice, and salt. Pulse until creamy. Use a large (about 4inch) shamrock cookie cutter to cut the spinach tortillas, and spread with the green cream cheese. Top with second shamrock cutout to form a sandwich. Save the leftover tortilla scraps for the next step!
For Easy Guacamole and Crispy Tortilla Chips:
- Simply mash together avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Serve with Crispy Tortilla Chips. Use a smaller shamrock cookie cutter to cut the remaining spinach tortillas, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 400 for 5 minutes, until lightly golden brown and crisp.Â
For the Rest of the Lunchbox:
- Combine the broccoli, cucumber, green bell peppers, and celery in a compartment of the lunchbox to form the ombre green veggie salad.
- Place the kiwi melon balls, grapes and edamame in other compartments.
