Comments
This is a great recipe for kids to practice knife skills because most of the vegetables are fairly easy to cut after watching a demonstration. Some kids don't love the onion taste but they can always put that to the side when eating.
I helped lead a cooking lesson using this recipe with multiple groups of 9-year-olds and I was happily surprised to see that they all gave it a try! Sometimes raw onions can be a challenge with kids, but they complimented the rest of the ingredients so nicely. With the addition of the salt from some tortilla chips, it was just delicious.
We adding some Picante Salsa for the Picante sauce, and added this to homemade tortillas!
This is so fresh tasting! Very nice recipe!
