Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture. Place it in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until softened.

  2. Spread the cooked zucchini and shredded cheese over half the tortilla and fold it closed.

  3. Heat gently in the pan, turning once, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is warmed through but remains pliable, not crisp. Cool and cut into small, soft pieces.

Serving by Age

Allow the cheese to cool from molten-hot to warm before offering. Cut into small manageable pieces appropriate to your baby's skills, ensuring the tortilla is soft rather than crispy and the filling stays together.

9 months+

Serve small squares.
