Immy loves to eat tacos and burritos and this got me thinking about similar types of foods that I could introduce to her. Looking through the cookbook from the child care centre which I ran for 5 years I came across the recipe for Sang Choy Bow, of course this one is kids style! The children at the centre really enjoyed this one, must be something to do with eating with your hands!

Yes! My kids love all of that and I think the household favourite is Fah-je-tas – our version of this is just chicken and salad in a wrap!
Thanks for the San Chow Bow recipe!
This looks great. One to keep for sure!
Thanks that is one I never thought to try. I always loved it as a kid – fingers crossed mine do too!
Yes my kids love eating tacos, fajitas and burritos. We also make a really healthy nachos too. All vegetables get cooked in to the meat sauce plus kidney beans etc and then spread this on top of plain Doritos, sprinkle with grated cheese and heat in the oven to melt the cheese. Yum! Thanks for your recipe too:)
Good luck if you are giving it a try for the first time.
Loving Mums, I will have to try the nachos too.
