What's for lunch 5/3

Seasoned 100 % Ground Beef w/
Lettuce, Salsa,Cheese & Sour cream
Tortilla Shells -Hard & Soft
Vegetarian Taco available
Orange Wedges


The beef used in these is USDA commodity beef. If you are concerned and have heard about the "pink slime" controversy.   We do season it in-house with salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne and black pepper.

The rice and beans version is a good choice - brown rice, canned black beans.  Salsa is organic.

The hard taco shells from Mission foodservice contain: whole grain corn, water, vegetable oil (one or more of the following: cottonseed oil, corn oil or palm oil), contains 2% or less of niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate, riboflavin lime. No sodium - 6g of fat (2 of which are saturated)

The soft shells are from Tyson and contain:  Bleached Enriched Wheat Flour (Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Contains one or more of the following: Cottonseed Oil, Soybean Oil), Mono- and Diglycerides, Contains 2% or less of the following: Salt, Baking Powder (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch, Monocalcium Phosphate), Fumaric Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, Dough Conditioner (Wheat Flour, Calcium Sulfate, Sorbic Acid), Preservative (Sodium Propionate and Potassium Sorbate).  Sodium is 380mg. 5g of fat (1 of which is saturated).


The orange wedges are fresh but not organic.  Salad bar is available. Alternative entrees are Pepper Jack quesadilla with chips and salsa, peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, and meatball hero.  I am still gathering the ingredients for those items.  But I believe the meatballs are frozen and from Tyson.
