Baby Burrito Strips

A soft tortilla with mashed beans and avocado is a simple finger-food combination. A tightly rolled tortilla can become chewy or form a dense mouthful, so a thin filling and soft cut pieces are more useful than a firm burrito shape.

  • Prep 5 min
  • DifficultyEasy
  • Allergen InformationContains: Wheat

Ingredients

  • 1 small soft wheat tortilla (check label for other allergens and sodium)
  • 2 tbsp previously fully cooked, thoroughly mashed soft beans (no hard whole beans)
  • 1 tbsp mashed ripe avocado

Preparation

  1. Choose already cooked very soft beans, mashing thoroughly with a little safe water until spreadable. Do not assume dry or merely soaked beans can be used in this assembly recipe.

  2. Warm the soft tortilla gently without browning or crisping. Spread only a thin layer of mashed beans and ripe mashed avocado.

  3. Fold loosely instead of rolling into a dense compact tube. Cut into soft strips or pieces suited to the baby's self-feeding skills; test that bread does not turn gummy or firm.

  4. Serve promptly with baby upright and supervised. Discard partly eaten pieces.

Serving by Age

Choose a pliable tortilla with no crisp edges. Spread fillings thinly; loosely fold rather than tightly roll, and cut into manageable soft pieces. Use thoroughly mashed, skin-soft beans without whole firm beans.

9 months+

Offer small, soft folded pieces rather than dense tightly rolled rounds.

Allergen Information

This version intentionally uses a soft wheat tortilla, so it contains wheat (gluten). Check the tortilla label for sesame, soy, milk and sodium. Beans are legumes and can cause individual allergic reactions.

Storage

Best assembled immediately before eating. Keep unused mashed beans refrigerated and prepare avocado fresh; discard partially eaten portions.
