Vegetarian Pesto Wraps

Today marks the start of the second week of school lunch in our house. It's also meatless Monday, so I wanted to give you a recipe idea that can fulfill both of those requirements_ Vegetarian Pesto Wraps!

We never got to eat the blueberries from our garden since the birds always got to them first, but the bushels of basil growing like weeds outside my kitchen were untouched by our feathered neighbors so I made tons and tons of pesto to freeze in little cubes and save for recipes just like this one. Whenever I offer my kids wraps they're generally completely eaten. They like the ease of being able to hold them not to mention they will eat practically anything that has pesto on it. All you need to do is defrost one cube and toss it with some thinly sliced sticks of crispy vegetables like carrots, cucumbers and bell peppers before wrapping everything up in a whole grain tortilla. If your child's school is nut-free you can substitute regular pesto by making a batch of Pumpkin Seed Pesto instead.

Since this wrap is a complete meal with protein, carbohydrate and vegetables, it's a simple recipe you can feel good about sending your kid with to school. Hopefully you'll make extra and save one for yourself to enjoy as well!
