I always do something special for the kids on the first day of school, whether it be a special dinner, dessert or even an after school snack and this year is no exception. When I was at Safeway, trying to figure out what to make the kids for their treat, I saw that Hillshire Farm has new Natural Honey Roasted Ham with no artificial ingredients and 97% fat-free, I wanted to try it out.
I thought of the pinwheels my mom used to make when I was a kids, cream cheese and turkey on tortillas and knew I wanted to make my own version. I grabbed the ham, some cream cheese, ranch mix and tortillas and headed home. Then, last night, after the kids went to bed, I went to work. These instructions are for 2 soft taco sized tortillas:

Now I just need to head on back to Safeway and pick up more Hillshire Farm Naturals for their lunches too. I think they might like the Black Forest Ham next! I won’t forget my coupon this time!

What a great idea. My boys would LOVE those.
What an easy and delicious snack. I bet the kids love it!
Mmmmm yum! I give my kids ham and cream cheese in a tortilla. However, I usually just fold it like a burrito and call it a day. Never thought to chop then into wheels or add ranch seasoning to the cheese. Thanks for the idea! 🙂 My kids don’t start school until next week, but I might make it their first after school snack too!
This seriously looks so good yet so simple! I could eat the cream cheese mixture by itself! Thanks for sharing the recipe. 🙂
That is a very easy snack idea. My daughter loves to make toast with avocado, strawberries and feta cheese for a snack.
I love those pinwheels! I don’t eat meat, but they’d work great for veggies too. They make a great snack.

My hubby would love these! He loves anything on a tortilla (go figure) and I get tired of the peanut butter tortillas he likes to make! Thanks for the idea!
I am a lot like your husband, I have tortillas for everything! Technically I do it because they are low carb and they are replacing my breads, but I still love them so it’s all good! And I can see getting tired of peanut butter on tortillas, although I have peanut butter every morning with my apple!
What else does he put on tortillas? I am trying to find more ideas for my own meals and snacks!
These all look so delicious and hopefully the young ones will think so too! Happy Back To School!

A perfect snack, or lunch. And I love the frozen green grapes too.
Definitely both as a snack or lunch. I’ve done it both ways too and yes, always with delicious frozen grapes!!

Same here, so far I have made these almost every day for the kids for after school and they are not getting tired of them yet!
