Soft Shell Tacos

Soft Shell Tacos

This recipe is one of the most popular menu item that the KLTC teams make with kids in workshops.

They can be made as simply as cheese and avocado ( as lots of kids do) or packed with fresh and zesty tomato salsa, black beans, shredded chicken, guacamole, sour cream and cheese.

Why not get the kids to put this together for a weekend meal.
