Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this simple shamrock snack that’s quick, fun, and kid-friendly! 
It’s green, healthy, and perfect for an after-school treat. 
All you need are spinach tortilla wraps and a shamrock-shaped cookie cutter.
This veggie platter with shamrock sandwiches makes a great snack or party platter. For our shamrocks we used kid-friendly fillings like plain cream cheese, cream cheese with thinly sliced cucumber, cheddar cheese, and a cheddar-spinach mix. Think about what your family likes — peanut butter and banana in a green shamrock is a fun option too.
There’s no formal recipe — the method is easy. Spread your chosen filling evenly on one spinach tortilla, place a second tortilla on top, and cut the stacked tortillas with a shamrock cookie cutter. I recommend filling and stacking the tortillas before cutting; cutting individual shapes first and then trying to spread soft fillings and align another shamrock on top gets messy. I learned that the messy way!
These shamrock sandwiches are great for classroom parties, family get-togethers, or a themed snack tray. Vary the fillings to suit dietary needs and preferences — use hummus and grated carrot for a vegan option, or thinly sliced turkey and cheese for a heartier bite. Cut shapes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for an easy grab-and-go snack.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
