Ingredients for 4 Kids
Soft tortillas or roti: 4 pieces (small size)
Fresh strawberries: 1 cup (sliced)
Banana: 1 large (sliced)
Mango: 1 medium (diced)
Plain yogurt: 1 cup (or vanilla yogurt)
Honey: 2 tablespoons (optional)
Desiccated coconut: 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
Mint leaves: A few (for garnish)
Steps to Prepare
Step 1: Prepare the Fruits
Start by washing all the fruits thoroughly under running water. Slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces, peel and slice the banana, and dice the mango into small cubes.
To make it a fun activity, involve your kids by letting them help with slicing softer fruits like bananas or arranging the fruit in bowls. Arrange the prepared fruits in separate bowls for easy assembly.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Heat a skillet over low heat. Place one tortilla or roti at a time onto the skillet and warm it for 1–2 minutes on each side.
The goal is to make the tortillas soft and pliable without browning them. Warming them will also enhance their flavor and make folding easier.
Once warmed, transfer the tortillas to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you work on the rest.
Step 3: Assemble the Tacos
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean plate. Add a generous spoonful of yogurt (plain or vanilla) to the center of the tortilla and spread it slightly, leaving space around the edges for folding.
Arrange the sliced strawberries, banana, and mango on top of the yogurt. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle ½ tablespoon of honey over the fruits.
Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Add Garnish
Sprinkle a pinch of desiccated coconut over the top of each taco to add a tropical flavor and a bit of texture.
For a refreshing and colorful garnish, place a few small mint leaves on top of the fruits. This final touch not only elevates the flavor but also makes the tacos visually appealing for kids
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Fold each tortilla slightly into a taco shape and serve immediately. Arrange the tacos on a platter or serve them individually on plates.
These breakfast tacos are best enjoyed fresh to preserve the crunch of the fruits and the softness of the tortillas.
Pair them with a glass of fresh juice or a smoothie for a complete tropical breakfast experience.
