Season 08 - Lunch / S08L24
Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels
Story
In the cozy corner of his rustic kitchen, Don Luis was helping his youngest grandson pack lunch for a big school field trip. “¡Abuelo! I want something fun, like a roll-up surprise!” the boy exclaimed. With a knowing smile, Don Luis reached for fresh tortillas and carved turkey slices from the fridge. Minutes later, a row of colorful pinwheels twirled onto the plate like edible mini spirals of joy. “They’re called pinwheels,” Don Luis winked. “Perfect for little hands, big appetites, and no mess!” His grandson giggled, already popping one into his mouth. Mission: Delicious, accomplished. 😋🎒✨ Time, Nutrition & Cost
