These Chicken Soft Tacos from Salida Union School District in California use whole chicken breasts or turkey for a healthier kid-favorite entree. "The use of fresh cilantro, garlic and lime juice eliminates the use of traditional dry taco seasoning mixes, which are usually quite high in sodium," says Billy Reid, director of child nutrition services.

12 oz. chicken breast strips (raw or fully cooked) (turkey may be substituted
1 tbs. fresh garlic, chopped

Shredded lettuce and diced tomato for garnish
Steps
