When squad DFT decided to brand this week's topic " kids-friendly DFT" so that kids amongst diabetes tin give the axe do goodness from these recipes, I was determined to brand something that kids would genuinely consume in addition to something that was tardily to brand over in addition to over again. I also used my kids every bit guinea pigs. I figured that if they would consume it, most kids would. Both my kids similar cheese ( but they are picky nearly which cheeses they like!), in addition to they both consume avocado on a regular basis. They both consume rotis(chapati) in addition to bread. The solely novel affair that I introduced this fourth dimension was cherry lettuce, which I must confess wasn't that good received. On the positive note, they enjoyed both the burger in addition to the wrap!! I was really surprised every bit my miss unremarkably likes the roti evidently amongst exactly lots of cream cheese on overstep in addition to made into a wrap/roll. She volition consume the avocado on the side, but this fourth dimension she ate it together. You see, she does non similar likewise many textures at the same time!!
I select used ingredients inward their natural form as much every bit possible, thereby avoiding anything processed or laid upwardly made. This is a no-cook recipe. I select used home-made whole wheat 6- inch chapati/roti for the wrap. You may thus run across some cracks or sense some dandy of the roti spell rolling it. It is okay. I select provided the alternative of the burger for those who cannot brand rotis or don't select it handy. The bun used for the burger is whole wheat bun amongst sesame seeds from Trader Joe. Each bun has solely 110 calories.
I select solely used a pinch of salt, pepper in addition to a petty flake of lemon juice for flavor. No mayonnaise, no dip/dressing of whatsoever form has been used. The cheeses used are depression fatty variety. I select used depression fatty Swiss cheese spread ( laughing cow) in addition to depression fatty shredded mozzarella cheese.The cheeses too, I haven't added too much. 1 tsp cream cheese for spreading in addition to 1/2 tbsp shredded cheese on overstep of the avocado. Be careful when y'all add together common salt every bit the cheeses already select common salt inward them.
So hither nosotros go:
Servings: 1 ( makes i twine or burger)Serving size: i wrap/ burger per person.
Ingredients:
6- inch chapati/roti/tortilla: 1 ( usage corn tortilla to acquire far gluten-free)
OR
1 pocket-size whole wheat sesame bun.
Avocado: 1 quarter of i pocket-size avocado, chopped into bite-size pieces.( around 1 tbsp, heaped).
Lettuce: 2-3 pocket-size leaves ( I select used cherry lettuce)
Low fatty swiss cheese spread : 1/2 of i laughing moo-cow wedge.
Low fatty mozzarella shredded cheese: 1/2 tablespoon
Lemon juice: 1/4 tsp
Salt: a tiny pinch
Pepper powder: a tiny pinch
Method:
Take the chopped avocado inward a bowl. Add salt, pepper pulverization in addition to lemon juice to it. Mix good in addition to run on aside.
Spread the cream cheese on i side of the chapati/ roti or on the within of the lower one-half of the bun.
Now layer the lettuce on the cream cheese, in addition to so spread the avocados in addition to lastly overstep it amongst the shredded cheese. This footstep is the same for the twine in addition to the burger.
Now for the roti/chapati/tortilla, identify a pocket-size strip of wax newspaper at the bottom 1/4 of the roti inward such a mode the the wax newspaper is folded at the bottom in addition to does non disclose the border of the roti/chapati/tortilla. Slowly twine it so that the edges of the roti are overlapping each other. Secure it amongst a toothpick.
For the burger, exactly overstep it amongst the overstep one-half of the bun in addition to secure it amongst a toothpick.
It is laid upwardly to live served!
