Deli-Roll Lettuce Wraps (that your kids will like)

The problem I've experienced with lettuce wraps is that they're often not on the "what I like to eat" lists that kids have. This is a successful wrap, that my finicky children devoured and begged for more. The lettuce choice I used is a soft lettuce, and doesn't have a green taste or a leafy taste to it. It actually has very little taste at all, on the flipside, it's a healthy lettuce, green and rich with nutrients


Deli-Roll Lettuce Wraps

Organic Living Bibb or Butter Lettuce Leaves
Organic Preservative-Free Deli Turkey - each slice rolled up
Organic Cream Cheese - Softened
Organic Deli Cheese Slices (cut into 1/4 wide strips) - Muenster a.k.a. Monster Cheese is what we used, but any cheese will do, especially if it's a cheese they like.


In each leaf, spread about a tablespoon of cream cheese on entire side of leaf.
On one end of the leaf, lay one 1/4 inch strip of cheese, and rolls of turkey.
Beginning with the end that contains the turkey and cheese, roll up the wrap.

Serve and enjoy.



Because there is no mayonnaise, this makes a perfect snack to take in the car to pick up your kids so they can eat right away, and makes for a quick and easy picnic or hike snack. For longer distances or for warm weather, I do recommend using an ice-pack if you're taking it out of the house.
