Our goal is to promote meaningful dialogue, initiate reform, and inspire a wholesome food culture in The Sea Cliff School. We view nutritious, minimally processed whole foods as essential to a developing child. We support educational and food service initiatives that foster a healthy, enjoyable relationship with food and empower learners with the tools to make food choices that promote health and well being.

Lettuce/Cheese & Salsa
Tortilla Shells (Hard & Soft)

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.
