    Blogging Marathon# 66: Week 3/ Day 1
    Theme: Kid's Delight -- Lunch Box Recipes
    Dish: Bean Burrito with Potatoes

    We are starting a new week of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is 'Kid friendly-Lunchbox dishes'. I am hosting Valli's Kid's Delight event this month with the same theme. Packing lunches for my kids is quite a task since they are quite picky and it gets really challenging to come up with dishes they would eat in school.

    Vegetarian Bean burrito

    Both my kids have very different tastes. My son likes pasta, sandwiches or wraps to school whereas my daughter prefers rice with broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrot etc. With such varied tastes, it becomes so difficult to make something that both of them would enjoy. Luckily until last year, my little one was going to school only 3 days a week, but come September she will be going full time, which means packing lunch for both for the whole week.

    Well today's dish is my son's favorite. He loves burritos and tacos for lunch and this recipe also has his other favorite crispy potatoes, so this is a win-win for him. Recipe is from Veggies don't bite blog that she made from Minimalist Baker cookbook.

    Vegetarian Bean burrito

    This recipe takes about 30~40 minutes if everything is ready to go. I think to ease out a little bit of stress in the morning, I will probably make the black beans and cook rice the night before. So all I have to do in the morning is to cook the potatoes and assemble the wrap. I can see myself making this burrito quite often for my son.

    Recipe from Veggies don't bite (originally from Minimalist Baker cookbook):

      Bean burrito looks so food. Whenever I see broccoli, it reminds me of your daughter. I think she is one of those few kids who love broccoli 🙂
