Recipe Notes
There are many benefits to living in Orlando, Florida. Liberty Middle School realized this when they learned a local chef from Universal Studios in Orlando would be a member on the recipe challenge team. At the initial meeting with the students, the chef used this opportunity to discuss the importance of making healthy food choices. As a focus of one of his lessons, he introduced the students to new ingredients, including bok choy which was used in their recipe submission. The recipe also used whole-wheat tortilla wraps, meeting the need to integrate more whole grains into kids’ diets. Together with the school’s kitchen staff, the recipe team helped to develop Roasted Fish Crispy Slaw Wrap.
The recipe was entered into the contest under the Vegetable category and was selected as one of the top 15 recipes in the contest. The excitement leading up to their final contest placement was uncontrollable with the judging day being May 5, “Cinco de Mayo.” What a great day for a celebration! The team is ecstatic to have their recipe featured in this cookbook and is sure that other students will enjoy this crunchy, tasty delight!
