Refried beans are one of my favorite things to prep for the week. They make a flavorful, high fiber addition to wraps, grain bowls, and even sandwiches. Hear me out! I think refried beans need to get hummus’ brand manager. I love hummus, and there are some extraordinary hummus’s out there, but there are also…

Veggie Breakfast Tacos
These breakfast tacos are surprisingly delicious! The smoky seasoning on the black beans combined with the sweetness from the roasted sweet potatoes creates a flavor combination that I want to wake up to every day. Students as young as 5 can begin to scramble their own eggs. Class Tips to remember: Personally, breakfast tacos have…
Sheet Pan Fajitas
Having just come back from spring break in Texas visiting family, I still have Tex-Mex on the brain. I did my best to satiate the craving while there. My mom took us straight from the airport to our favorite Tex-Mex spot, where I ordered a cheese enchilada, crunchy chicken taco, queso, and refried beans. All…
Ground Beef Taco Meat
I feel like I have finally cracked a code that has plagued me for years.

The quick pickled veggies are delightful on top. They are pretty sweet and vinegary. Perfect to round out the intense soy flavor of the chicken. Soy Braised Chicken…
Citrus Shrimp Tacos
Growing up on the Gulf Coast made shrimp a familiar protein for me, but I find that is not the case for many of my students that grew up in Colorado. These sweet-glazed shrimp tacos are an easy way to introduce a somewhat unfamiliar food. The orange flavor can help with the strong flavor shrimp…
Blue Corn Tortilla Chip Crusted Fish Tacos with Slaw
I love finding new ways to introduce high antioxidant foods to my family. Fish sticks are a relatively familiar food in our house, so I had high hopes for these blue corn crusted fish sticks. We served them as tacos or just with ketchup on the side. One of my favorite things about this recipe…
