How to offer

Fan the strips out on the high chair tray. Always supervise during mealtime. At 12 months, babies have better pincer grasp and can manage these rolls. Check tortilla is soft and pliable — never offer dry, stiff tortilla to babies.

Storage

Best served fresh. Refrigerate assembled strips for up to 1 day in an airtight container. Not recommended for freezing once assembled.
