3 Quick and Easy Baon Recipes that Back-to-School Kiddos will love

Face-to-face classes have rolled out for most schools in the country. For moms out there, this means preparing baon for their kids and making sure their meals at school are healthy and yummy. It can be stressful for the kiddos to go back to school after months of not being able to. Tasty meals can help alleviate that stress and make school days enjoyable.

Here’s a quick list of baon ideas for kids- featuring CDO products that are affordable and convenient to cook.

Highlands Gold Corned Beef Sisig Burrito

Burritos are not your average kiddie baon but that doesn’t mean they won’t enjoy it. Not only is it a creative meal idea, it’s also easy to consume because it’s essentially a roll up sandwich. Make that with the scrumptious Highlands Gold Corned Beef and your kids will look forward to lunch time.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 cans Highlands Gold Corned Beef
• ½ cup Mayonnaise
• 2 pcs Red Onion, chopped
• 4 pcs Thai chili pepper, chopped (optional)
• 2 pcs Long Green Pepper, chopped
• ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
• 2 pcs Flour Tortilla Wrap (Large)
• 1 cup Cooked White Rice

Procedure:

1. In a pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Next, sauté half of the chopped onions until they turn soft.
2. Add your Highlands Gold Corned Beef and sauté this for 10 minutes.
3. Next, stir in your peppers and season the pan’s contents with black pepper and soy sauce. Cook this for 1 minute.
4. Add your Mayonnaise. Next, add your remaining chopped onions and stir well. Set this aside.
5. To assemble the burritos, place a portion of rice on the bottom ⅔ of the tortilla. Next, add the Highlands Gold Corned Beef sisig. Wrap the contents carefully. Repeat with your remaining ingredients.
6. Next, heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Using the melted butter, toast all sides of the burrito.

For younger kids, make the portions smaller for easier consumption. You can do this by buying smaller tortilla wraps or cutting your rolled up burrito into two or three. To make the burrito more enjoyable for the kids, you can actually ask them what ingredients they’d prefer. You can also forego the chili if your kids prefer them to be less spicy.
