Grilled Portobello Wraps

Portabella mushrooms are a great food for kids to cook. They slice easily, grill up fast and are packed with flavor! This recipe comes to us from Sarah Koszyk, RDN of Family. Food. Fiesta.

Cooking Tip of the Week: Use roasted red peppers from a jar or make your own! Slice red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, coat the peppers in oil and roast at 450 degrees for 25 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled, peel and discard the skins before using.

Food for Thought: “Marinading” is a cooking term for when you soak ingredients in a flavorful liquid for a few hours or even overnight. This allows the ingredients to absorb the flavors of your marinade before you cook them, making them even tastier! Vegetables, tofu and meats are all foods that marinate well. Usually, marinades involve an acid like vinegar, which helps make the food you’re soaking more tender, as well as strong flavors like garlic and herbs.
