Soft tortilla roll-ups filled with sunflower seed butter and jelly are paired with buttery crackers, crisp cucumber slices, fresh grapes, and chocolate pudding for a simple lunch that comes together in about 10 minutes.

Directions

  1. Lay the flour tortilla flat and spread the sunflower seed butter evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edge.
  2. Spread a thin layer of jelly or fruit spread over the sunflower seed butter. Avoid overfilling so the roll-up stays together when sliced.
  3. Roll the tortilla snugly into a log, then slice it crosswise into several kid-sized SunButter & jelly roll-ups of roughly similar thickness.
  4. Arrange the roll-ups in the lunch container.
  5. Add the sliced cucumber and appropriately prepared grapes alongside the roll-ups.
  6. Spoon the chocolate pudding into a small leak-resistant container if it is not already individually packaged.
  7. Add the buttery round crackers to a dry area of the lunch container so they stay crisp.
  8. Seal the lunch and refrigerate until ready to pack. Keep chilled with an ice pack until lunchtime.

Lunch Box Tips

Keep the Filling Thin: Use a modest layer of sunflower seed butter and jelly so the tortilla rolls tightly and the filling does not squeeze out when sliced.

Make the Roll-Ups in the Morning: For the best tortilla texture, assemble and slice the roll-ups shortly before packing rather than storing the sliced pieces overnight.

Keep the Crackers Crisp: Pack the buttery crackers away from the cucumber, grapes, pudding, and other moist foods whenever possible.

For Younger Children: Prepare grapes appropriately for your child’s age and eating abilities rather than serving them whole.

School-Friendly Option: Sunflower seed butter can be a useful alternative in settings where peanuts or tree nuts are restricted, but always follow your child’s school or childcare food-allergy policy.

Pack It Safely: Refrigerate the roll-ups, cucumber, grapes, and pudding until it is time to leave, then use an ice pack to keep the lunch chilled until lunchtime.
