Taco Bowl

When you are weaning a baby there will be numerous times you’ll think: “If only the bowl was food!”—and this time it is! It’s best if you can buy mini wraps as the bowl will be a better size for a baby, but if you can’t you can cut a larger one down to size.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Push the wrap into a muffin pan cup and then bake for around 10 minutes (until the wrap holds its shape). Remove from the pan and fill with your choice of fillings.

Ingredients 1 small round wrap Cooked quinoa or rice Chili Baked beans Grated cheese Avocado, mashed Handful of cooked peas or corn Sweet potato, steamed and mashed
