Beef Birria Tacos

“The birria tacos have been on our menu all month, and they’re a big, big hit. “ –  Kat Soltanmorad, RDN, Director, Food & Nutrition Services, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District

And it’s not just with the students, either. Tahoe Truckee teachers and staff love the district’s healthy and delicious meals. “Principal Mitchell from North Tahoe High School buys food from the cafeteria all the time,” Soltanmorad said. “She Facetimed me during lunch to tell me how much she and students liked the birria tacos.” (Recipe credit: Chef Ann Foundation)

All the School Food Professionals at Tahoe Truckee take pride in their work, and it shows. Team members regularly come up with new recipe ideas and new approaches to old favorites. The result is a school food program that’s always evolving, growing and improving. And students are taking notice. “I see students bringing them notes and cards, it’s just outstanding,” Kat said.
