Tortilla Bowl Deluxe

"I like tacos, but they are messy and don't hold a lot, so I chose a corn tortilla bowl," notes Braeden. "That way you can eat the bowl, too. Grilled chicken is good and it's healthy. To add color and vegetables I picked avocado because I don't like lettuce and wanted it to have some green. I also picked orange sweet peppers and tomatoes. To top the bowl you can add shredded lactose-free cheese (I am lactose-intolerant.) On the side would be fruit. Pineapples, mangoes, cantaloupe, grapes, and watermelon would be colorful and delicious." - Braeden Mannering, age 9, Delaware
