What's for Lunch - Fri., 6/15


TACO BAR
100% Ground Beef (no filler)
Lettuce/Cheese & Salsa
Tortilla Shells (Hard & Soft)

Vegetarian Taco Available

Brown Rice & Zesty Beans
Salad Bar Veggie Sides
Watermelon!!

The beef used in these is reportedly not USDA commodity beef and doe snot contain filler - like soy protein. However, beef with 'pink slime' is still considered 100% beef interestingly enough.  If you are concerned and have heard about the "pink slime" controversy, look back to this post. 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).
