Salsa Chicken Pinwheels

  • Combine salsa and shredded chicken in a small bowl.
  • Spread refried beans onto the wrap.
  • Top with lettuce, shredded cheese, guacamole, and salsa chicken. Wrap tightly.
  • Cut each wrap into 6 to 10 pinwheels depending on the size of the wrap.

PB&J Kabobs

  • Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich like you normally would. Do not overfill or it will make a mess you cut it up.

  • Place quarters onto the kabob along with fresh fruit.
  • Serve with a fruit and cheese kabob and a veggie kabob.
