I am a person that loves mexican food! This is such a cost effective meal! We are all in college and we are learning how to have parties. This mix that goes inside the tortillas is a great dip as well! Having this as a dip is a great alternative for those with gluten allergies. This is something that we never covered in class and I feel that we should have. I mean we are bringing in food to a classroom that could have a student with a possible food allergy. I wish we could have covered this in the class. As a future educator we need to take these things into account because when we have classroom parties we need to be conscious of food allergies. I want to make sure that if my students do this they are able to bring foods that the whole classroom can enjoy. If we wanted to help with food justice we can add some freshly grown produce to this. I chose to add lettuce to this recipe, but we can add tomatoes and many more things. Food justice is when a community uses their right to grow and sell healthy food. They want to make healthy food that is nutritious and affordable. For this recipe we would add fresh produce to help with this, also we can learn to make our own salsa from food that was grown in the Kalamazoo community. This will help us to support local farmers and help our food community to grow. Through this Kalamazoo's farm community can grow and Kalamazoo can become less of a food desert. This is something that we talked about as a class a lot, I know that our campus has a food market and we rarely use it and if maybe through this we could help to grow that community as well.
