BACK-TO-SCHOOL RECIPE: WATERMELON IN A BLANKET

The second recipe in this month’s back-to-school series is for a tasty little snack called “Watermelon in a Blanket.” It’s essentially watermelon wrapped in a tortilla and served with a tasty dipping sauce. Sounds good, right?

The recipe on the National Watermelon Promotion Board website called for crepes as the “blanket,” but to make this recipe simpler, I’ve substituted flour tortilla shells. Enjoy!

WATERMELON IN A BLANKET

INSTRUCTIONS
