Friday Hot Lunch - Taco Bar

Taco Bar
Cookies (from Sam's - cookie dough, makes 84 cookies @2 $6.87) Use half the container and save the rest for another meal.

3 pkgs. soft tortillas (12 in each pkg.)
3 pkgs. crunchy taco shells (20 in each pkg.)
6 lbs. ground beef
1/2 c. taco seasoning
4 c. shredded cheese
2 c. sour cream
1 pkg. shredded lettuce (from Sam's @ $2.68)
Salsa

Cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 c. water or more depending on your preference. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Kids can choose from a soft taco or cruncy taco. Or they may choose to break up crunchy taco shells to make a taco salad or 'nachos supreme'. Make sure you serve the meat to each child. Give them approximately 1/4 c. per person. We let the elementary have one taco and the middle and high schoolers have two. Once every one is served, they may return for seconds if there is enough. All kids get two cookies each.

Serves 25-30
