This recipe was created by one of our kitchen interns, Krysta Landingin, as part of her final project on rainbow nutrition! We filled warm whole wheat flour tortillas with melted cheese, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, cilantro and corn and served with a flavorful Greek yogurt dipping sauce.
