1 spinach tortilla
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
1 small handful fresh baby spinach
1/2 lime, juiced
1 pinch kosher salt

Easy Guacamole:

1/2 ripe avocado
lime juice to taste
1 pinch kosher salt
leftover pieces of spinach tortillas from sandwich

Other Ingredients:

Instructions

For the Shamrock Sandwiches:

In a food processor, combine whipped cream cheese, fresh baby spinach, lime juice, and salt. Pulse until creamy. Use a large (about 4inch) shamrock cookie cutter to cut the spinach tortillas, and spread with the green cream cheese. Top with second shamrock cutout to form a sandwich. Save the leftover tortilla scraps for the next step!

For Easy Guacamole and Crispy Tortilla Chips:

Simply mash together avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Serve with Crispy Tortilla Chips. Use a smaller shamrock cookie cutter to cut the remaining spinach tortillas, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 400 for 5 minutes, until lightly golden brown and crisp.

For the Rest of the Lunchbox:

Combine the broccoli, cucumber, green bell peppers, and celery in a compartment of the lunchbox to form the ombre green veggie salad.
Place the kiwi melon balls, grapes and edamame in other compartments.
