Dinner in the doldrums? Make edible snowflakes out of tortillas to spice things up. Sprinkle them with yummy toppings for a delicious treat! Picky eaters may be more inclined to gobble the tortillas up if they look like doilies.

Flour tortilla:
Pick them up next time you're at the grocery store.
Scissors:
Make sure they're nice and clean and don't have glue on them from your child's last arts and craft project, or invest in an inexpensive pair of kitchen shears.
Butter or margarine
Toppings:
Cinnamon, paprika, brown sugar, parmesan cheese, sprinkles, and so on. Go nuts. Heck you can even use nuts!
Toaster oven:
And some aluminum foil if you load on the cheese.

Fold a flour tortilla in half. And then in half again. And, if you're inspired, in half again!
Using the scissors, help the kids make little cutouts in the tortilla as if you were making a paper snowflake.
When your child is satisfied with the cuts, unfold the tortilla to reveal the snowflake design.
Smear on some butter or margarine to make the tortilla sticky and have the kids sprinkle on a variety of yummy toppings. Brown sugar and cinnamon make a delish combo. Or try honey and paprika for a little sugar and spice!
Stick them in toaster for a few minutes, then serve 'em up hot.
Have everyone in the family make one. The kids will marvel at how different each one looks and how great each one tastes. Remember, every tortilla snowflake is completely unique!
