D.I.Y. Tacos
By George from School Lunchbox
“My girls love tacos, usually in my household it’s a Tuesday night treat. The fun of making their own tacos with their favourite ingredients is super cool. So, I thought, why not have it for School Lunch? Super easy and fun. It’s a good idea to try it at home first to ensure they can make it themselves.
In order to get the small soft shells, I just used a cookie cutter and cut them out of a soft wrap. You could use wholemeal, multigrain or even sourdough.”
