Here's the secret: Slicing the wrap into pinwheels makes then perfect for bite sized bento lunches, and ideal for kids who go to schools that have a balanced day nutrition schedule.  Carrot cake wraps are easy enough to make that kids in the kitchen can prepare them almost on their own.

Ingredients:

1 whole grain tortilla
1-2 Tbsp (15mL-30mL) spreadable cream cheese
1 small carrot, grated
1 Tbsp (15mL) raisins (optional)
1 Tbsp (15mL) sunflower seeds (or walnuts if your school is not nut-free)
Cinnamon (optional)
maple syrup or honey (optional)

1. Spread cream cheese evenly over tortilla. If you prefer things a bit sweeter, stir in a little maple syrup or honey to the cream cheese before spreading.

2. Sprinkle grated carrot evenly over cream cheese, and top with raisins, sunflower seeds, and shake of cinnamon, if desired.

3. Roll wrap up tightly.  Use a sharp knife to cut into pinwheels, and serve.

4. Enjoy!

Note: If you prefer, fold the sides of the wrap in roll up burrito style to keep filling contained.
